Fun with Fruit

This month our momstown Milton junior chefs had the opportunity to have fun with fruit by assembling fruit kabobs with dip. Our instructor Mary-Anne started off the program by stressing the importance of kitchen safety and demonstrating to the kids how to carefully spear the fruit onto the wooden skewers.




After the safety lesson was completed, we spent some time identifying each of the fruits that were cubed on the trays before us. What a tasty variety! The kids could hardly wait to get started. They were each given their own skewer and began to pierce each cube with parental supervision. It was a simple yet challenging task for our youngsters that helped to build on developing their fine motor skills. You can see the intense look of focus and concentration on their faces and how proud they were as they completed the task!





Once the skewers were completed, the dipping began. There was carmel, chocolate, vanilla yogurt and coconut to choose from. Most of us could not make a decision so we settled on sampling all of them! What a decedent, healthy treat!
