Assorted Fruits (Bananas, melon cubes, grapes and cherries work well)
Let your child decorate a plate or a dish of cottage cheese or yogurt with a fruit face. Halved grapes or cherries for eyes, melon cube nose, banana smile…etc

This is one very easy way to use up whatever ripe fruit you have on hand. Just cut 3 or more fruits into bite sized pieces, mix together, and chill overnight so the flavors can “merge”. Try: bananas, strawberries, oranges, peaches, melon, blueberries, kiwi, grapes, etc. My kids love it.
