Assist your kiddo in washing all of the strawberries and the cucumber. 2. Cut the hull off the top of your strawberries.

You can have them slice the cucumber and then cut each slice into pizza slices or chop them into small cubes. Add your cucumber to the bowl. 4. Work together to peel and separate your orange slices before adding them to your other ingredients. Feel free to cut the orange slices in half for a smaller bite. 5.
