What you need

Plain pasteurized yogurt, a ripe banana, a fork, a spoon, and an unbreakable bowl.

Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.

Let's make it happen

  1. Adult peels and mashes a ripe banana until smooth, then places a spoonful in the bowl.
  2. Add a few spoonfuls of yogurt. Invite your child to draw slow circles with the spoon and notice the pattern.
  3. Eat the snack seated together, or cover and refrigerate it promptly.

For ages 3 and up with an adult. Check ingredients for allergies and suitability; yogurt contains milk. Wash hands and clean surfaces first. Adult prepares the banana and supervises seated eating.
