Method
- Cut the apple into thin wedges and toss them in a little lemon juice so they do not brown by mid-morning.
- Cut the carrot and cucumber into short sticks or thick coins, whichever your child actually eats.
- Pull the grapes off the stems and halve them lengthways for younger children.
- Hull the strawberries and leave them whole.
- Pack a small handful of two or three of these into a container each morning, and send it with a water bottle.
