Sometimes kids don’t want to eat their vegetables. That’s normal. Shoot, sometimes we don’t want to eat our vegetables!ย BUT when weย use fresh fruits or vegetables to make themed trays, the kids often fight over who gets what on the tray! Life is good when your children are fighting over fruits and vegetables!ย Cucumber eyeball?ย That’s a hot commodity for little kids. ๐
We made two Halloween-themed party trays during last week’s Indy Style segments.ย The first was a super easy and super adorable Pumpkin. We used Nature Fresh Farms Mini Seedless Cucumbersย and baby carrots. That’s it. Told ya it was easy!!!!
Customize your Halloween Pumpkin veggie tray to your liking! Here are some ideas to get you started:
ORANGE = Carrots, Orange Bell Peppers, Tomatoes, Roasted Butternut Squash, Orange Slices, Cantaloupe, Apricot, Papaya
GREEN = Cucumbers, Green Bell Peppers, Broccoli, Asparagus, Snap Peas, Honeydew, Kiwi, Grapes, Apples
