About this idea
The elf has raided the fruit bowl overnight and arranged sliced strawberries, mandarin segments, banana rounds, green grapes, and blueberries into a giant rainbow arc across the kitchen counter. A tiny paper chef's hat sits on the elf's head and a handwritten note reads 'Good morning! Can you eat the whole rainbow today?' No cooking needed — just a cutting board and whatever fruit you have.
What you'll need
- Cutting board
- Assorted fruits (strawberries, mandarin oranges, bananas, green grapes, blueberries)
- Small paper chef's hat
- Handwritten note paper and pen
How to set it up
- Slice the strawberries, peel and slice the banana, separate the mandarin segments, and wash the grapes and blueberries. Arrange all the fruit pieces on the cutting board in the shape of a rainbow across the kitchen counter. Place the tiny paper chef's hat on the elf\'s head and attach the handwritten note nearby that reads, 'Good morning! Can you eat the whole rainbow today?'
Tips & variations
- Use fruit that your preschoolers like to ensure they will enjoy eating the rainbow. For added fun, let your children help arrange the fruit or draw their own rainbow notes for the elf. If fresh fruit isn\'t available, frozen or canned fruit can also be used for the rainbow.
