Fruits basket

Making a fruit basket can be a great opportunity to let the kids play with food!

Thinking already about Easter, I bought some cookie cutters and I thought it was a pity to let them wait until then. So I invited my daughter to have some fun in the kitchen while I was cooking. I told her she would be responsible for a dessert – she loves to be responsible for something now. As a matter of fact, they learn how to be responsible at school, where they have a board of responsibilities, so she even wants to have one at home. I gave her some fruits and cookie cutters and she made a lot of cute things. Then I had an idea to mount them on toothpicks and place them on something: an orange seemed to be a good idea. So I cut it in the shape of a basket and we placed our fruits inside. How cute is that ?:) My daughter was so proud of her dessert and she said that it was the best part of the whole meal!
