Cutting Fruits and Veggies

• Velcro fruits and veggies

I was out shopping one evening at TJ Max and saw velcro fruit and veggie sets, for a very affordable price (about $5 each set). So I took a gamble and got them both and I'm so glad I did!

He will often use the play knife to cut everything up. We have a spare room in our house, so I have had these out to use at his “convenience.” He takes them out all the time. He has even started to take his snacks in that room and cut them like he cuts the plastic food. 

This would be a great activity to take out while you cook (as if they were assisting you) to help keep them busy but also learning. Your child can “help” and have their very own (safe) tools to use.

It can really challenge them to use their small hand muscles, as the play knife is small and thin. What a great way to strengthen them!
