Look for opportunities to talk about apples this week - the supermarket, picture books, at mealtimes. You can even talk about the color, the taste, and the size of the apples!
How to make a Puzzle Apple:
Here's a little trick we do at our house to keep the apple from going brown when we cut it up for school lunch. We actually eat it this way all the time now because we like it so much! Cut apple into a square instead of in wedges - two slices on the right side, two slices on the left side. Then two slices on the front, then back. We put it all back together, including the core, and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Something about the larger surface area keeps it together better and thus from coming in contact with the air and turning brown. It is also easier to eat than the traditional wedges. We call it a Puzzle Apple! I think the fun name helps make eating healthy food more fun for kids! (Sometime I'll tell you about our Pizza Egg!)
Happy signing!
