1. First things first -- make sure your child washes her hands with plenty of water and soap.

3. Let her arrange all her apple pizza ingredients on the towels.
4. Help her spread peanut butter on each apple splice.
5. Have her sprinkle the raisins on the peanut butter
6. Let her use her fingers to pat the raisins securely in the peanut butter.
