It can be really hard at times to get the kids to eat healthy and getting their five a day in fruit and veg is not always the easiest. In fact, we sometimes have to be creative and think outside the box. Today on The Inspiration Edit I am sharing this fantastic flower garden fruit cup idea. I know the kids will love it and it’s a fun activity to make.
