2. Fruit Kabobs

This would be a fun way to practice patterns with your kids and a good way to get them to try new fruits. Side note – lately Harrison has been LOVING frozen blueberries. We bought a huge bag from Walmart and he thinks they are basically the same thing as a popsicle 😂.

3. Edible Peanut Butter Play Dough

I adopted this recipe, cut out the sugar and scaled it way down. This made a TON using just 1 cup of peanut butter. Actually this play dough is dangerously delicious and thankfully my dog ended up eating most of it. I found the alphabet cutouts on Amazon and Harrison had a lot of fun playing with his trucks in it too.
