Chances are if you have a toddler or grandchild (or not) you’ve probably heard of the Wiggles. Both of my kids are really into the Wiggles at the moment, and Thade and I have been watching their videos on You Tube. Well they have this great song all about making “Fruit Salad”, and just how yummy it is. Thade isn’t much of a fruit or veggie eater, but I thought that maybe with a little help from the Wiggles, he just might give it a try…

We watched the video a few (dozen) times, and I picked up all of the ingredients at the store. I did my best Wiggle impersonation as I cut up the cantaloupe, and Thade happily stirred in the Red Grapes. We placed our Wiggles Fruit Salad in the fridge, and waited until dinner time.

When dinner finally rolled around I got out our fruit salad, and sang the song one more time. Dylan dove into his fruit salad (every bite was in teeny tiny pieces), he loves his fruits and veggies. Thade wasn’t buying it, and told me just how yucky the fruit salad was, but he would eat the bananas. Oh well, I’ll give it another try, and maybe with a little more Wiggles motivation, Thade will eventually like it.

Do you have any tips or tricks that get your child or grandchild to eat their fruits and veggies?
