Invent Your Own Smoothie Colour

Cooking

  • at home

Your child picks the fruit and gets to name the colour that comes out. The blender is loud, so it stays under the adult's hand.

What you need

  • Banana
  • Berries, fresh or frozen
  • Yoghurt or kefir
  • Milk
  • Honey
  • Blender
  • Tall glasses

How to play

  1. Lay the fruit out on the table and let your child choose three things for one colour.
  2. Break the banana into pieces with fingers and drop everything into the blender jug.
  3. Pour in the yoghurt and a splash of milk until the fruit is nearly covered.
  4. Hold the lid down and run the blender yourself while your child counts to twenty.
  5. Pour the smoothie into glasses and invent a name for the colour you got.
  6. Taste it and agree what to change next time — more berries or a spoon of honey.
