Ingredients:

assorted fruit and/or vegetables
block cheddar cheese
assorted Breton Minis, Vinta, and Breton Crackers

Preparation:

Here's a great way to introduce mathematics to your child. Slice cheese and fruit into different shapes, such as circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles. While you're sharing snack time with your child, point out the various names and have your child count the number of sides that make a particular shape.

Helpful hints:

Try using small cookie cutters for interesting shapes or use food that already has a shape, such as pepperoni or starfruit.
