[00:00:10.580]Hi, everyone.
[00:00:11.413]It's a beautiful day today.
[00:00:12.610]Today, I'm going to be showing you
[00:00:14.370]how I make some fruit kabobs,
[00:00:16.480]because fruit is one of my favorite things to eat
[00:00:18.600]and of course, with it being spring
[00:00:20.750]and turning into summer, we have a lot of fresh fruit
[00:00:23.980]available for us to buy at the grocery store
[00:00:26.550]or to grow in our gardens.
[00:00:28.550]So, here today, I'm going to be showing you
[00:00:30.130]how I make that.
[00:00:32.320]So, to start you'll need
[00:00:33.910]some of your child's favorite fruits.
[00:00:36.580]Some that are easy
[00:00:37.413]to poke through with the skewer, of course.
[00:00:39.260]And then, make sure that you wash your fruit too
[00:00:41.570]so that it's ready to go.
[00:00:42.780]And then I also have my skewers here.
[00:00:44.890]So, I only have a couple,
[00:00:46.240]but these are here to help us poke the fruit through.
[00:00:50.190]So, now that I have all of my fruit ready,
[00:00:52.450]I'm gonna lay it out on my cutting board
[00:00:54.350]so that I know what order I want them to be in.
[00:00:56.630]So, I think I'm gonna make a pattern for mine.
[00:00:59.300]So, I think I'm gonna do grape,
[00:01:04.490]strawberry,
[00:01:07.371]mango.
[00:01:10.570]Let's see, grape comes next.
[00:01:14.180]Then strawberry.
[00:01:17.270]Then mango.
[00:01:19.280]I'm just gonna start with six
[00:01:20.440]to see if those fit on my skewer.
[00:01:23.640]Here's my skewer.
[00:01:25.050]So, I was actually able to add three more fruits
[00:01:27.860]to my kabob to make it a little bit longer.
[00:01:30.210]Can't wait to try this.
[00:01:33.020]When I was pushing my fruit through my skewers,
[00:01:34.880]I noticed that the grape was actually
[00:01:36.790]really hard to push through it.
[00:01:38.500]It has a really tough skin on it.
[00:01:40.701]And the strawberry and the mango,
[00:01:42.820]they were really, really soft.
[00:01:44.230]So, it was really easy to push them through.
[00:01:47.000]When I was cutting my fruit
[00:01:48.130]and also stringing it through my kabob,
[00:01:49.560]I was really thinking hard about how these fruits
[00:01:52.330]are really important for my body.
[00:01:54.110]So, they really help me stay healthy.
[00:01:56.990]They may help me grow still.
[00:01:59.360]There's all kinds of really good things
[00:02:00.770]that fruit allow us to do.
[00:02:03.100]Can you think of any other ways
[00:02:04.390]that fruit is good for your body?
[00:02:06.610]Once the skewers are made,
[00:02:08.630]you can either eat them fresh right there
[00:02:10.660]or something that you can do, too,
[00:02:11.860]is to freeze them so you have kind of like a fruit popsicle.
[00:02:16.240]Have fun making your fruit kabobs.
[00:02:18.200]Have a beautiful day!
