Re-discover your inner child with some fascinating fruit and vegetable creations here.
If you are seeking a more creative way to present some wholesome vegetables to your child, getting creative with fresh farmer’s market produce is a neat way to keep your little one engaged with their plate.

It will certainly take more time to prepare than a regular salad or a bowl of sliced fruits.
