Do you have a preschooler who is hesitant to eat fruits or vegetables?\u00a0 National Fruit and Veggies Month is a great time to plan some fun activities to entice your little one to try new fruits and veggies.\u00a0 Below are ideas to help get you started.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Visit an Orchard<\/span><\/h4>\n

Plan a family outing to a local orchard or farm to pick fruits and vegetables together.\u00a0 Your preschooler will have fun learning about where these foods come from and picking them in person.\u00a0 Once you have your bounty of fruits or vegetables, head home to prepare a recipe together using your fresh picked goodies.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Visit a Farmer\u2019s Market<\/span><\/h4>\n

Find a farmer\u2019s market in your area and spend a morning walking around shopping for new fruits or veggies to try.\u00a0 Talk to the farmers present and ask for their favorite ways to enjoy the produce they grow.\u00a0 Encourage your preschooler to choose at least one item to take home to try!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jicama<\/span><\/h4>\n

Jicama is also known as a Mexican yam or Mexican turnip.\u00a0 Jicama is high in antioxidants and fiber.\u00a0 They have a slight sweet taste and are often compared to apples.\u00a0 You can peel and slice jicama into sticks and serve with your preschooler\u2019s favorite dipping sauce or you can make jicama fries.\u00a0 To make jicama fries, begin by peeling the jicama and slicing it into fry like sticks.\u00a0 Toss the sticks in olive oil and season to taste.\u00a0 Spread the jicama sticks in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for approximately 30 minutes at 400\u2109.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Make it Fun<\/span><\/h4>\n

Is your preschooler hesitant to try new fruits?\u00a0 Try cutting the fruits or veggies into fun shapes using cookie cutters.\u00a0 A flower shaped piece of pineapple may be more enticing than a pineapple ring.\u00a0 You can also find cutting the fruit or vegetable differently (i.e. cut the cucumber into fry shapes, instead of rounds) makes a difference in your preschooler trying something new.\u00a0 A variety of tasty, healthy dip can make all the difference in the world!<\/span><\/p>\n
