Instructions:

  1. Start by washing the kiwi thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residue.
  2. Carefully cut the ends off the kiwi using a sharp knife.
  3. With the knife, peel the kiwi by slicing off the skin from top to bottom. You can also use a vegetable peeler for this step.
  4. Once the kiwi is peeled, slice it into thick rounds (approximately 1-2 cm thick) to make it easier for little fingers to grasp.
  5. If desired, lightly drizzle a teaspoon of lemon juice over the slices for added flavor and freshness. This can help prevent browning.
  6. You may also sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the slices for a hint of extra flavor. Be careful not to overdo it, as toddlers can be sensitive to strong flavors.
  7. Serve the kiwi slices on a small plate or a toddler-friendly tray, allowing your little one to explore and feed themselves.
