57. Melissa Alexander on August 7, 2012 at 10:33 am said:

    This is very cute! My girls like everything on this plate! I would probably slice the grapes in half for the toddler to prevent choking though. I’m paranoid, lol.
58. Michelle on August 7, 2012 at 11:06 am said:

    Melissa,
    You are not paranoid – you are smart! It’s hard to see in the photo but we sliced them in half too!

60. HOLLY on August 7, 2012 at 7:12 pm said:

    What a cute idea, my grandson would love it!
66. Diane Sallans on August 8, 2012 at 2:40 pm said:

    That is so imaginative – letting the kids make it would encourage them to have this snack that is good for them too!
67. Melissa K on August 8, 2012 at 3:35 pm said:

    I love this idea. I can’t wait until my daughter starts eating regular food and I can make creative treats for her!
68. Katie O on August 8, 2012 at 5:17 pm said:

    So cute! Always helps encourage kids to eat healthy when there’s something cute!

70. Jennifer Williams on August 9, 2012 at 7:36 am said:

    Cool idea! I’m always looking for ideas like this. I’d love to see more.
71. Jenny Lloyd on August 9, 2012 at 8:44 am said:

    i love this! my 6 year old will not eat fruits or veggies. something like this just might convince him to try it.
72. Kerry G. on August 9, 2012 at 11:17 am said:

    What an awesome presentation of fruit, my kids will eat that up!!
73. Tricia R. on August 9, 2012 at 1:23 pm said:

74. Tarah on August 9, 2012 at 1:31 pm said:

    Love this idea! I think it would be even more fun to show the kids how to do it too – get them interactive!
75. rachael on August 9, 2012 at 6:31 pm said:

    I like this idea. It makes healthy food more fun
76. Seyma Shabbir on August 9, 2012 at 6:50 pm said:

    Very cute idea! decorating the fruit I sometimes sneak food in other places like quesadilla with spinach or corn. Thanks for sharing!
77. Kristin on August 9, 2012 at 6:58 pm said:

    Super cute idea!
78. Robyn on August 9, 2012 at 7:43 pm said:

    I LOVE the palm trees. SO CUTE!
79. Shannon on August 9, 2012 at 8:51 pm said:

    This is so cute. I like that this is so simple. Most “fruit art” I’ve seen looks like it would take much longer to prepare than I have time for, this is very doable.
80. Jenny O. on August 9, 2012 at 9:09 pm said:

    Love this! Always looking for new and fun ways to present healthy food.

    I think this might be the cutest ‘fruit snack’ I have ever seen!
83. Julie on August 10, 2012 at 7:42 am said:

    So cute! My kids would love this!!
84. Eileen on August 10, 2012 at 2:37 pm said:

    Our kids are almost grown now , with the youngest being 12 out of 6. We were lucky in that we didn’t really have picky eaters at all, but STILL it is nice to make mealtime fun for kids! They do remember the extra little mile you go to make them feel special. Our youngest daughter is such a foodie…she is always looking for clever treats to take in for her class. This is such a fun idea for their school BEACH THEME day! This daughter wants someday to be a chef and be a restauranteer. Her key is to find healthy foods for kids and own a restaurant geared for families.
85. sharon winne on August 10, 2012 at 5:38 pm said:

    What a great idea! Great simple way to have kids eat their fruit in a fun way!
86. Whitney Groover on August 10, 2012 at 7:03 pm said:

    My kids loved this idea! Trying it tomorrow!
87. Katie R on August 10, 2012 at 8:16 pm said:

    I love the idea making fun pictures out of healthy snacks. It encourages kids to eat their fruits and vegetables and they enjoy helping to create to prepare their plate.
88. Jessica O on August 11, 2012 at 10:04 am said:

    What a cute idea! My kids are not picky eaters (yet) but if they were, I think something fun like this would help them eat!
89. Hayley J on August 11, 2012 at 10:18 am said:

    this is such a cute idea and a great way to get kids to eat fruit! Love it!!!

105. Felisha Jaros on August 15, 2012 at 1:57 pm said:

     Great Idea! My son loves creating different things with his healthy foods
106. Lora S on August 15, 2012 at 1:59 pm said:

     This is adorable!! Thanks for the idea. My kids will love it!
107. Chris on August 15, 2012 at 4:12 pm said:

     It might destroy the aesthetics of the project but younger kids (like mine) may need their grapes cut in half so that they don’t choke. I like the project a lot though.
108. Autumn on August 16, 2012 at 9:48 am said:

     I have been looking for something fun to interest my son in eating better for lunch. This is it!

112. Sara on August 20, 2012 at 9:48 pm said:

     Cool! Looks yummy!
113. Christina G on August 21, 2012 at 8:30 pm said:

     love this idea so cute
120. Chev Sopkin on August 23, 2012 at 8:13 am said:

     This is so awesome! I just had a really great idea once I saw your photo too! My son is 3yrs old & we love to play Pirates together with his Kidkraft wooden pirate ship. There are lots of small scale toys to it like pirate figures, gold coins, cannons & even little wooden palm trees! It would be really cool to set up a plate of fruit just like this along with his palm trees at the other end of the living room so that when we sail the ship along the floor (our sea of shark infested water!) we can get to land and have a snack! SO COOL!
121. Star A. on August 26, 2012 at 8:08 am said:

     What a great idea! This is so simple, great idea for busy moms who want their kids to eat more fruit! My son loves fruit, I think I’ll make this for him as an after school snack, he will love it!
