Ingredients (serves 1)

1 orange
1 lolly snake

Method

Put a hole in the orange with a sharp knife. Add Snake.

Notes

Started using this with my eldest daughter. First time she wouldn't eat an orange, so I put a worm (lolly snake) in there. Then the next time the worm got smaller and smaller. Now she eats the oranges with no worm.

this would also make a cute party treat, but must admit I am wondering how many children would eat the lolly and leave the fruit . Thanks for sharing.

What an excellent idea! When do you tell your daughter how you got her to eat oranges?
