| Here's a healthy fruit snack that will
be flying down to your child's tummy in no time! |
What You Need:
· 1 pear (fresh) or slice of pineapple
· 1 celery stick
· 1 box of raisins |
What You Do:
|
|
Choose either a slice of pineapple or a pear for the butterfly's
wings. Cut this in half so that the sides are symmetrical or exactly
the same. |
|
|
If you are using a pear, cut out the core from each side once you
have cut the fruit in half. Also, you may want to cut some of the
curve of the pear off so that the sides will lay flatter on the plate.
(You can also used canned pear halves.) |
|
|
Cut the celery stick so that it is a good size for the body. Cut
the top of the celery down the middle about one inch and carefully
bend each half to the side. These will be the antennae. |
|
|
Place the celery in the middle of the two halves of the fruit. If
it does not stay put, use a little peanut butter like glue. |
|
|
Decorate the wings with raisins. Now eat up and enjoy. |
Note: You can use any type of fruit that can be cut into two symmetrical
sides. Also, try decorating with cran-raisins, cherries or little pieces
of strawberries. Use your imagination, and have fun!
