Today I spent the afternoon with my 2-year old dreaming of spring rainbows. We started by singing the colors of the rainbows and pointing them out in the house.
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple (the actual color of the spectrum is violet but we are working on the color purple)
Then we got busy in the kitchen!
Cutting up soft fruits is a great fine motor activity for kids (not just toddlers but throughout elementary and then they can cut harder fruits and veggies).
I set-up a cutting station for her with bananas, kiwi, strawberries, oranges and blueberries. I helped her a bit but mostly worked on dinner prep alongside her. This allowed me the freedom to start dinner while still engaging with her, talking about the colors and textures of the fruit.
What a cute activity to do with your daughter! I think even my 12-year-old would enjoy this colorful bowl! 🌈
This looks so yummy! Wonderful that your daughter is using those Practical Life skills to help with the preparation!💛
Thanks for the cute idea! My daughter loves smoothies, and I’ve been in a rut for some new ideas! And your fruit looks amazing… I’m in Colorado, so we don’t have access to the best fresh fruit right now!
LOVE smoothie bowls! My favorite is to make them after we get back from being out of town–so nice to get as many nutrients as we can after eating who-knows-what on the road!
I really loved this! It looks so yummy and healthy and I wish I had a 2 year old to make this with. Super adorbs! Thanks for sharing!
