I try to do a cooking/baking day with the twins once a week, which they love (what's not to like about wearing aprons and wielding knives!). Today we made banana-pops out of banana slices, yogurt, and sprinkles. I've seen a couple yogurt-dipped-fruit ideas floating around Pinterest, which gave me this idea.
First the girls peeled their bananas, and then cut them into smaller pieces with plastic kitchen knives:
(All the practice with cutting playdough is finally paying off). Then we put little food picks in them and dipped them in yogurt. If you try this at home I would use something other than these foodpicks / toothpicks because the banana pieces kept falling off and then at the end I removed them all for fear that they would snap in two while the girls were eating their pops.
Then we shook on some candy sprinkles ($1 at target) - I think the girls enjoyed this part the best. You could probably also just dip them in the sprinkles for more consistent results.
Finally, I put them in the freezer for a tasty treat. Putting them on wax/parchment paper is probably a good idea so you don't have to pry them off your plate when they're done like I did. These were REALLY good - I had one or two (or five!) before L and E woke up from their naps.
YUM!
Love this idea! Next time I go to the store I'm going to grab some bananas! Thanks!
