Cooking with Kids :: Fruit & Waffle Kebabs



Today I had the honor of performing cooking class for the preschoolers my kids school.  It was tons of fun and I was amazed that 50 preschoolers ages 2-6 were actually able to fully partake in this activity.  We started the activity by reading an animated book about food to set the mood that we love at my house and it was a hit with the kids.  We then transitioned to the tables for assembly of our own kebabs with a focus on healthy eating.

Our kabobs incorporated fruits and healthy spreads alongside waffles.  We learned how to make patterns and counted our fruit and the kids even got to practice fine motor skills by cutting!  Below is a kid-approved recipe for Fruit and Waffle Kebabs - try them tonite!

Note:  Any fruit will do! If you do not have strawberries or bananas please feel free to sub your favorite fruits!

  2. As you probably know, there are two kinds of waffles, the flat cakes and those that are baked in a round, bread-like shape. Classic waffle makers are those that create flat, square-shaped waffles, while those that look like elongated pieces of bread are created by using round waffle iron tools. Best waffle maker
