Guest Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I remember seeing various mentions of this in different posts, but cannot find any of them. Please can you tell me what policies you have for giving fruit as snacks to the under 2s? I have heard various things such as the size of the pieces and the skin being removed, and wanted to find out what people do? How about grapes - the under 2s love grapes, but I can't imagine trying to get the skin off!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Running Bunny Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Found this discussion for you which doesn't actually answer your question, but helps to understand the grape thing...

Guest Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Although its a pain we actually quarter the grapes so they are small enough to not cause any damage - its only another cut and I have become quite proficient at it. Is there no end to my talents and I discovered another one the other day, completely unrelated - topping and tailing french beans - if you brought them in a packet - do not unwrap - shake them all to the end to they are all even and cut through the clear plastic and beans together - discard plastic and shake to the other end - you can then top and tail all the beans in two slices. Sorry not what you asked for but wanted to share this. How sad am I - but anything that saves me time is worthwhile Nikki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I have children to do the toping and tailing of french beans, it is something they can do with a relatively blunt knife, and they are always keen to join in. I don't know if it is related, by they love eating them once cooked too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
