Hey, looking for a fun activity to do with your kids?

Well search no further because the answer is here!

Here are the instructions:

"What You'll Need:

1 lemon
1 orange
1 apple
1 lime
Red, yellow, green, and orange tempera paint
Paper plates
Knife

What You Do:

Get things started by slicing the fruits in half revealing the centers, which should be done by an adult. If you cut the apple around the round middle, it reveals a star!

Invite your child to help by placing two to three paper plates next to the sheet of white drawing paper. These will be his paint palettes.

Now you can squeeze about a teaspoon of each color paint around the paper plates, leaving enough room for the fruits.

Your child can place the halved fruits next to the coordinating color, honing color recognition skills!

Make prints by pressing the sliced fruits into the paint, then onto the paper, and lifting to reveal the fruit prints.

Continue pressing and tapping until the paper is filled with colorful prints!"

And that's how you do CUUUUUTE fruit print crafts!

It's Q and A time with Perezitos.com's nutrition expert Margaux J. Rathbun!

And this week, we're focusing on the beauty of fruit! It's not just a food anymore… Many fruits include the proper vitamins and antioxidants that can help heal any pain or wounds. Fascinating!

Jessica from New York asks:

"Hi Margaux! My teenage daughter recently had a bad experience with her curling iron and ended up burning her hand quite badly. We are rubbing vitamin E oil on it every night to help it heal but I was wondering if there were any foods that could help speed up the healing process? Hopefully my daughter has learned to be more careful! Thanks for your help."
