Re-discover your inner child with some fascinating fruit and vegetable creations here.
If you are seeking a more creative way to present some wholesome vegetables to your child, getting creative with fresh farmer’s market produce is a neat way to keep your little one engaged with their plate.
It’s also a way to show your kids that their mom was once a child too!
From carving and painting to cutting, slicing, and grating, the arrangement of a cute animal art plate or a stand-alone fruit piece may involve various techniques.
It will certainly take more time to prepare than a regular salad or a bowl of sliced fruits.
BUT, bringing a smile to your child’s face and delivering a morning of anticipation and surprise is certainly worth it!
It is a brilliant way to teach your kids a new appreciation for vitamin-packed foods!
