Apple Slice "Cars"
What better way to keep your little one’s engine running than with a snack shaped like the vehicles they love? Apple slice cars are the perfect blend of nutritious and engaging. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a healthy, hands-on snack that toddlers will love.
What You’ll Need:
- Apples (any variety your little one prefers)
- Grapes (for the wheels)
- Pretzel sticks (for the axles)
- Nut butter or cream cheese (to hold it all together)
How to Make It:
- Slice the apples into thin wedges. These will be the body of the car.
- Cut grapes in half and stick a pretzel stick through two grape halves to create the “wheels.”
- Use a dab of nut butter or cream cheese to stick the wheels to the sides of the apple slice, forming your “car.”
- Let your toddler help "drive" the cars onto their plates and enjoy!
