Tips: Kids

  • Make eating fruits and vegetables fun for kids! Decorate dishes with fruit and vegetable garnishes.


  • Eating fruit can be fun for kids. Top off a bowl of cereal with a smiling face featuring sliced bananas for eyes, raisins for a nose, and an orange slice for a mouth.


  • Let’s draw a picture. You can use broccoli florets for trees, carrots, and celery for flowers, cauliflower for clouds, and a yellow squash for a sun. When you’re all done, you can eat your masterpiece and get your recommended vegetable servings!


  • Eat flavored AppleSweets® instead of candy.


  • Make frozen fruit kabobs for kids using pineapple chunks, bananas, grapes, and berries.


  • Go shopping with your children and let them pick out a new fruit and vegetable to try.
