Yogurt Sundaes

 

Give each child a small

plastic bowl or clean empty

margarine tub and plastic

spoon. Set out a bowl of

plain yogurt. Have the

children help prepare a fruit

plate of sliced peaches,

strawberries, banana slices,

blueberries, crushed

pineapple, etc. Each child

makes a sundae by

spooning yogurt into the

dish and topping it off with

a choice of fruits. Granola

may also be added.

 

 

 

 

Tell the

children that yogurt is made

from milk, so it has calcium

that helps make strong

bones and teeth.
