Ingredients

• Carrots
• Cucumbers (seedless work best)
• Red, green, and yellow peppers
• Fresh mozzarella
• Wheat bread
• Cherry tomatoes
• Pesto Madness
• Peach Tango Salsa
• Spicy Asian Peanut Dip
• Creamy Curry Dip

Supplies

• Wooden skewers

Directions

1. Step 1

   Adults can cut the cucumbers, peppers, mozzarella, and bread into 1-1/2 inch pieces. If you cut the cucumbers into thick slices first, kids can help by cutting them in half, using a cutting board and a plastic knife.

2. Step 2

   Your child can help you separate the ingredients and place them into small bowls. Let him pick the order in which you add the vegetable slices, bread cubes, mozzarella, and cherry tomatoes to the skewers. Kids can have a turn adding softer ingredients to the skewer; keep a close eye on them during this activity--the skewers have sharp ends!

3. Step 3

   Eat the kabobs on their own, or serve with our Backyardigans "Around the World" Sauces: Pesto Madness, Peach Tango Salsa, Spicy Asian Peanut Dip, and Creamy Curry Dip.
