Chocolate fruit skewers

Children dip fruit pieces into melted chocolate and decorate them with colorful toppings.

Steps

1. Wash hands and fruit thoroughly: bananas, strawberries, apples.
2. Children slice soft fruit using child-safe plastic knives and thread pieces onto wooden skewers.
3. An adult melts chocolate gently in a double boiler over warm water.
4. Children dip fruit tips into chocolate and sprinkle shredded coconut or sprinkles.
5. Chill the fruit skewers in the refrigerator and enjoy as an afternoon treat.

Tip: Check parents for allergies; vanilla yogurt can substitute for melted chocolate.
