Aussie Farmers Direct Challenge

Both Pre-Schools my girls attend have a strict fruit and veg only policy for snacks.

Here is Heidi’s snack box for today (we use the lunch box tin that her Wiggles DVDs came in).

That is a Murcott Mandarin, two strawberries (quartered – they were quite large) and carrot sticks. Strawberries from this weeks box, Mandarin and carrot from last weeks and still very fresh and yummy.

One trick I’ve found to get kids to eat fruit is to put the fruit in an appealing bag.  That I learnt from McDonalds, make the packaging fun and people will eat just about anything Mmmm cheeseburger :drool:

Here is the bag Heidi’s strawberries and carrots were in, unfortunately Coles Online don’t stock these so I have to go into the actual grocery store to purchase them. You can rinse and re-use these bags but I find hot water does make the pretty picture wear off.

Hubby has already eaten two of the pears from this weeks box after I put the pears on the very top of the fruit bowl. High Five! Only two pears to go.
