Create a Christmas Tree With Fruit
One thing the Christmas season is known for is making yummy treats! Cookies, pies, fudges, and cakes are common desserts during Christmas time. If you want to choose a healthier option this holiday season, create a Christmas tree with fruit. It will be a fun activity that will get your family in the holiday spirit, but also offer an alternative to typical sweets. While this recipe calls for kiwis, raspberries, blueberries, and cranberries, you can choose any fruit your family enjoys. Sweets are okay in moderation, so you can add a few white chocolate chips to serve as “ornaments” as well.

Thank you for your input.
What You Need:
- Plate
- 2-3 kiwis
- A pint of raspberries
- A pint of blueberries
- Small red berries, like lingonberries
- Any other healthy garnish your learner would like to add to the tree
What You Do:
- Help your child peel the kiwis.
- Assist your child as they cut the kiwis into circles, and then cut them again into semicircles.
- Have your child arrange the cut kiwi slices into a tree design on the plate. Allow them to add more kiwis to the tree than the picture shows.
- Tell your child to add the small red berry, blueberry, and raspberry “ornaments” on to the tree. If your child prefers to use different fruits, allow them to choose fruits they enjoy eating. The goal is to get them to eat healthy fruits while enjoying a fun activity together!
- Cover the tree and place it in the fridge if you’re waiting to serve it later. It’s best to enjoy the tree the same day.
Enjoy this decorative fruit tree with friends, or enjoy it as a family.
