Cars Fruit Snack by Janel Adani

So, I don’t know about you, but I have a pretty picky toddler. He just turned three years old and is very picky about what he wants to eat. He used to love fruit. He would eat grapes by the handful and apples all the time, but lately he doesn’t want to have anything to do with it. So what is a mom to do? Well this mom goes to Pinterest looking for fun and cool ideas to serve fruit to my fussy 3 year old.

This simple recipe caught my eye because it has 2 of my son’s favorite fruits and it’s shaped like a car. What toddler boy doesn’t like cars? How about Lightening McQueen? My son loves anything with wheels, so I’m hoping this one is a success. You can use this recipe for just one child as an afternoon snack or make a whole bunch and share at a playdate or party.
