Fruit kebabs
What you need
- A range of different fruits
- Large bar of chocolate (optional)
- Packet of marshmallows.
- Wooden skewers.
- Cutting board.
- A sharp knife.
- Small bowls for the ingredients.
- Aprons.
Cut the fruit into small manageable pieces and place in bowls. Put the marshmallows into a bowl. Clean all the surfaces, wash hands put aprons on.
What to do.
Choose which fruit they would like to place on their skewer first. Help them put this first piece of fruit on the skewer, pushing it right to the end. Always take care with skewers. Add more pieces of fruit, and some marshmallows, to their skewer. Once they have decided they have finished their kebab break some chocolate into a small bowl, and melt either in the microwave or over a bowl of hot water. Pour some of the melted chocolate over their fruit kebab to finish it off. Allow the chocolate to set before eating the kebabs. (may not be easy!)
Prompts
• Ask the children to name the fruits you are using. Make sure they touch and feel the texture
• Ask them to tell you the colours of the different fruits.
• Sing the song Oranges and Lemons.
• Talk to the children about fruit being good for them and ask them what fruits they most like to eat.
• Count the pieces of fruit with the children as they add them to the skewer.
