Colorful yogurt covered fruits are not just a great snack for the entire family to have, but a great way for kids to stay busy! Making these delicious little bites will also be a fun art project for kids (and adults).
We recommend strawberries, blueberries or other berries. Along with fruits, you will need food coloring for the yogurt dip.
We always use natural or dye-less food colorings. If you have a homemade recipe to make your own food colorings, that works as well. For the blueberries, keep some toothpicks handy, because it makes it much easier to dip into the yogurt.
Before we break down the step by step instructions on how to make yogurt covered frozen fruit snacks, we put together coloring sheets for kids to color during the freezing times for these snacks.
