Sweet Pea and I enjoy creating meals together. She helps daily with choosing her fruit and veggies and loves being able to put on her apron to help. I’m always looking for new ways to have her involved in our mealtime preparations. So when I was approached to review, “End of the Rainbow Fruit Salad” I was thrilled to find the concept behind this book. That concept being combining our favorite things: reading and cooking TOGETHER!
“End of the Rainbow Fruit Salad,” is an adorable counting story that is more or less a step by step recipe for building the perfect fruit salad. The story is told by using all of the wonderful colors in the rainbow. It’s full of rhymes and great adjectives that will leave your mouth watering. At the end of the book you will find a recipe for making a fruit salad with your tot.
Sweet Pea enjoys reading this story and has even learned some new names of fruit. Since she had to observe while I cut the fruit I grabbed her wooden fruit set so she could also be involved in the chopping. Then together we combined the yummy (real) fruit to make the perfect fruit salad.
“End of the Rainbow Fruit Salad,” is the first in the series and each book will continue to be based on preparing healthy foods. I’m personally really excited to check out the book titled, “Feed Your Senses- Homemade Bread!” We haven’t yet tackled making bread together so I can’t wait to give that a go.
I found it very impressive to find that a portion of the book sales will go to local food-based charities. Another impressive fact is this new book has already captured the literary world and is an award winner.

Ok, that is just adorable. My kids are well beyond this stage, but I have a soon-to-be 2 year old niece that would love it.
That is so wicked cute!!! My kids would love this!
my little chef in training is looking at your post with me and chattering about making rainbow fruits for lunch today!! we love to cook together 🙂
This is a great idea. I love the thought of teaching kids the importance of healthy eating at such a young age. Brilliant!
Sounds like such a cute book! I love your little wooden toy sets, so adorable!
my girl loves to cook with me too. I think she’d love this book.
Play kitchens are the cutest. That “stand mixer” is so adorable, it makes me wish my niece was a little bit younger.
This is a really cute set. My great niece and nephew would enjoy it.
That’s such an adorable set. You’re daughter will love it when she’s older.
This is a new series to me,but I love the idea so much. I definitely think kids would learn a lot from the book and then hands-on too.
The colorfulness would be so appealing to kidlets!
This is adorable, I love cooking with my kids!
My son would have loved this when he was younger.
How cute! I love that they’ll have subsequent recipes that kids will love.
Very cute. I know I have a budding cook within my daughter. She loves to help in the kitchen,
If we had a kid I would so hope they loved cooking like me! This is sucha cute set, and yummy salad!
We love fruit salad and my kids are already kitchen helpers! I think this book would be perfect for my nephew, who is almost 2 and really curious about cooking with mom and dad.
My daughter has been watching me very closely in the kitchen for awhile. She used to bring me the ingredients for her fave dishes. Now she breaks into the containers when I’m not watching and makes a mes trying to “cook”.
AW! This is such a cute set and a great way to encourage cooking in the kitchen with the kiddos. My little man loves to help me and has a waffle maker that is all his for making fun shaped breakfast for the family.
What a wonderful concept! My daughter would enjoy something like this.
So adorable! My boys love to help out in the kitchen too, they have been doing it since they were little.
This is absolutely adorable. Thanks for sharing.
What a great way to get kids interested in helping in the kitchen. I like that it is a healthy snack too and not a sugar filled treat.
Oh this is a cute set, my niece would love that.
