Find the Star in an Apple

Did you know there is a star in every apple? There is. This is something really fun to do with the kids.

Just cut an apple in half - not from top to bottom, but from side to side (as shown above). Inside is the star.

Do you do stamping art with food items? This would be one to try. I bet you would get a cool star inside a circle if you stamped this. I'm going to have to try that.
