Practice Peeling

Fruit Salad
Have your child peel oranges and bananas, as many as desired to make a simple fruit salad. Have adult or let child use blunt table knife to slice bananas and half oranges.

Egg boats with Pepper or Cheese Sail
Peel hard boiled eggs as many as desired. Try to help child keep the white part of the egg in one piece. The adult should cut egg in half or the child can with a table knife. Then pop out the yolk and place into a bowl.

Child can add a spoonful of mayonnaise, one squirt of mustard and 1/2 teaspoon pickle juice or to taste. Stir. Season with salt and pepper. With a spoon fill in egg white with the yolk mixture sprinkle with paprika. For sail, cut a green or red pepper in a triangle or a cheese slice and insert into egg yolk.
