Honey Yogurt and Wheat Germ Dip

Pictured: honey yogurt, sliced apples, and wheat germ.

Original recipe from Trish Kuffner's The Toddler's Busy Book.

The purpose of this meal or snack is to provide an opportunity for your child to be involved in the "cooking" process.  This is especially useful when you have "adult" cooking to do, and want to let your little one help.  It's healthy and fun!

Ingredients:

• yogurt
• honey, jam, or other sweetener
• wheat germ or whole wheat flour
• sliced fruit (apples, bananas, grapes, peaches, strawberries)

Directions:

1. Spoon yogurt into a small bowl and squirt with honey.  Give child a spoon to mix the two together.  
2. When your child tires of mixing, provide sliced fruit or give the child a plastic knife to cut softer fruit independently (like bananas).  Provide 1-2 toothpicks for poking fruit.
3. Fill a small bowl with wheat germ and teach child to the toothpick and dip fruit in the yogurt and wheat germ.
