Heart shaped fruit
Print
Toddlers and preschoolers love finger food they can pop into their mouths. To surprise them on Valentine’s Day, offer your little one a bowl of heart-shaped fruit.
Ingredients
- Mixed fruit (large strawberries, pineapple, melon, etc.)
- Heart-shaped cookie cutters
- Cutting board
- Bowls for serving
Directions
Choose fruit that you can easily cut into small
heart-shapes-like melons or pineapple.
Clean and trim the fruit and then use a very small (about 1-inch)
heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut an assortment of fresh fruit into
heart shapes as a Valentine's Day surprise.
