A Fun Side Dish and Family Activity: Fruit Skewers
When it comes to eating food that’s actually good for them, most kids shy away. Instead of enjoying fruit, they love fruit-flavored roll-ups or candy. Add fruit into their diet by getting your kids into the kitchen.
Make fruit skewers with your kids. They are easy to make and a fun activity to do with your kids. Feel free to use any of your kids’ favorite fruits or fruit that you want them to eat. The sky is your limit. Serve the skewers as a side dish at dinner or as a dessert. Keep the fridge stocked with them, and maybe your kids might even pick them as an afternoon snack.
