school fruit kabobs & fruit dip...this sunday for dinner i decided to let my kids assemble the fruit skewers. not only did it keep them out from under my feet, but they were so excited to have a job! after i prepared all the fruit in seperate bowls & put them on the table with the skewers, my 6 year old said-- mom, this is just like at school making patterns. he was so right. i told the kids to make different patterns with the fruit & them tell me what the pattern was. it was both fun & yummy! so let your kids make some "pattern kabobs" & serve them with this yummy dip! everyone will enjoy it!<div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/31708933@N07/5809012750/" title="educational-games-for-kids-21 by britfullmer, on Flickr"><span
