Snack Time! Rainbow Fruit Salad

I think it's safe to say that most kids like fruit. My boys LOVE fruit salad. We have fun picking the different fruits that go into it. Last week I made "Rainbow Fruit Salad" - and we had a little bit fun during snack time naming each color and fruit that was in it. I used:

- Strawberries (Red)
- Oranges (umm...orange...I hope you knew that before I explained it) ;)
- Mangoes (Yellow)
- Honeydew Melon (Green)
- Blueberries (Blue)
- Red Grapes (Purple)

Super colorful and superfun. I know a lot of people don't like to cut up mangoes, I used to find it was a pain myself. Then I found a mango slicer on Amazon. Oxo Good Grips Mango Splitter
Check it out! It made life so much easier.

Happy Snacking!

Product Review: Flashcard Time: Brain Quest for Kids

I'm always looking for ways to challenge my preschooler. Like many kids, he gets bored easily. I received Brain Quest for 3 and 4 year olds from my mother. Thank goodness she found these, otherwise I would have just kept going past them in the store.

What's nice about these flashcards there is hinge to flip through the cards easily without getting the individual cards all over the place. There were definitely questions in the set that I had never thought of asking my son. He really had a great time and would ask me constantly to go through the cards. Eventually he knew all the questions, so I bought him the Pre-K stack. From what I can tell, each set of Brain Quest cards really matches up well with where their skill levels should be. I like that my son doesn't know all the answers, but that he knows enough not to get discouraged.

I will definitely continue to buy these cards and think any parent would like them as well.
