what you need…

- measuring jug
- ice lolly moulds
what to do…
- wash and slice the fruit and place in a measuring jug

Then into a little dream adventure…
- you can also make these just by blending the desired fruit of your choice by creating a fresh fruit juice and then freezing
- mix and match all sorts of different combinations of fruit, which ones are your favourite?!
- maybe you are growing some fruit in your garden? or take a visit to the local fruit picking farm, and pick fruit till your hearts content, knowing one option when you’re home is too make these yummy ice lollies!!!
- whilst picking the fruit, talk about the different textures/colours of the fruit? do they grow on tall bushes or low bushes? is the fruit hard or soft? which is your favourite fruit? does the fruit taste sweet or sour? does the fuit have seeds? are they big or small seeds? so many questions and conversations can be had, even if you are buying your fruit at the supermarket, this is an opportunity for discussion too, asking the same questions and maybe referring to pictures from books or the web when you get home
- talking about healthy and unhealthy eating…which foods are healthy and which foods are unhealthy!!! what does healthy/unhealthy food do to your body?
