We saw a photo of this apple candy cane snack on the Internet last year, but I don’t recall where to send the credit, but it looked so delicious and healthy the kids wanted me to make it!
All you need is an apple, an orange, a banana, and a knife.
Slice the apple into segments, or if your children are old enough, let them do the slicing. Bananas are easy enough to slice with a butter knife for toddlers. Peel and segment the orange.
Arrange the slices into a candy cane shape while alternating the fruits.
Voila, a juicy snack is served!
You could do this with many other fruits or vegetables for a fun way to introduce children to new foods. You could serve a caramel or other dip with them to up the wow factor as well..
Tristan just saw this blog photo and wants to make this so it’s off to the shops I go for more fresh fruit!
If you’d like something a little more ‘naughty’ to eat, try our macaroons or caramel popcorn. If crafts are more your thing, don’t miss our felt trees, or cardboard cone trees.
