Today I decided to do an edible craft with the girls. Edible crafts are so much fun. Especially when they are this colorful!
Autumn and Kesa love rainbows and so we always talk about what different colors of the rainbow that we can eat to be healthy. We even have a chart hung up in our kitchen that we made and will occasionally have an Eat The Rainbow competition just for fun to see who can eat the most fruits or veggies in a day.
This is a great craft to do with your kids to teach them about eating all the different colors and why fruits and vegetables are important to keep our bodies healthy.
Here is what we used for our rainbows but you could use any fruit that you want.
RED – Strawberries
ORANGE – Orange
YELLOW – Pineapple
GREEN – Kiwi
BLUE – Blueberries
VIOLET – Red grapes
Directions
Cut up different colored fruit into bite sized pieces, arrange on a large plate in the order of the rainbow and eat!
Educational
Fun
Colorful
And Delicious! 🙂
What a colourful and ingenious way to get kids to eat their fruits and veggies! I love it!

This is a great idea! I’ll be blogging about it later today (singlemomcooks.com) and referring folks back to your site. I also plan to sit down with my Kindergartener and make a rainbow sign. Love it!
