• Strawberries
• Clementines
• Pineapple
• Green Grapes
• Blueberries
• Round Crackers
• Cheddar Cheese
• Tray (to put the rainbow on)
• Two Small Bowls

I told you that this was super simple to put together and I wasn’t kidding. Your rainbow fruit tray will be ready to go in four simple steps, my friend!

Step One: Wash and cut your fruit.

Step Two: Arrange the fruit on the tray following good ol’ ROYGBIV in the shape of a rainbow. Translation in case you didn’t catch that childhood art class reference: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet.

Step Three: Pour round crackers into a small bowl. Place the bowl on one side of the rainbow.

Step Four: Cut cheddar cheese into small cubes. Put the cheese cubes into another small bowl and place the second bowl on the other side of the rainbow.

Ta-dah!

Invite your kiddos to the table for a delicious snack! You could even pair the snack with a favorite book. Because kids + snacks = amazing time to read aloud books.
