You’ll Need:

  • a plate
  • apples
  • slivered almonds
 
To Make:
  1. Slice an apple into four even pieces and then remove the core.
  2. Remove a wedge from the apple, so that it will look like an open mouth.
  3. Count out 20 slivered almonds with your little one and put 10 on the top and 10 on the bottom. Note: If you have longer almond slices, you might want to try putting your ‘teeth’ in from the underside of the apple. Then you can push them through so the ‘breakthrough’ the gums! :)
Hope you enjoy this cooking activity with your little one! To see more featured books and activities, click here!
