Create a Santa Face with Fruit

What You Need:

• Plate
• 2-3 bananas
• 1-2 pints of raspberries
• 2-4 white chocolate candy melts
• 2-4 mini chocolate chips
• Any other healthy garnish your learner would like to add to Santa’s face

What You Do: 

1. Have your child place two white chocolate candy melts on the plate to serve as eyes. Then have your child put the mini chocolate chips on top of the candy melt.
2. Ask your child to peel the bananas and help them slice the bananas so that the pieces are circles.
3. Tell your child to arrange the bananas under the “eyes” in a triangle so they look like Santa’s beard. 
4. Have your child place the raspberries above Santa’s eyes in a triangular shape to serve as the hat. Don’t forget to add the raspberry nose as well!
5. Let your child place one piece of banana at the top of the hat to serve as the pom pom.
6. Enjoy this fruit snack together!

If your child prefers to use different fruits, allow them to choose fruits they enjoy eating. The goal is to get them to eat healthy snacks while enjoying a fun activity together.
