Fruit Salad

This is easy to make.

You can chop everything up yourself before hand so that young children can just put things into the bowl, or older children can help you by doing some of the cutting. Even young children can use a butter knife to cut up the banana, which is a great way to start teaching them how to use a knife.

Ingredients:

(How much of each ingredient you will use, will depend on how many people will be sharing this yummy treat.***Be sure to cut grapes and cherries small enough for small children to eat without fear of choking.)

banana, sliced in rounds and cut in halves or cut into fourths

apple, cored (peels left on) and cut into small chunks

grapes, halved or cut into fourths

kiwi, peeled and chopped

cherries, halved or cut into fourths

mini marshmallows, don’t go overboard (at the holidays, we use the colorful ones!)

whipped topping, just enough to bind it all together

1. Just put it all into a bowl and mix it all up.

2. You can dish this up ahead of time into sundae cups or fancy bowls, but we usually just have it on our dinner plates at holiday meals.
