Method

Cut the apple into thin wedges and toss them in a little lemon juice so they do not brown by mid-morning.
Cut the carrot and cucumber into short sticks or thick coins, whichever your child actually eats.
Pull the grapes off the stems and halve them lengthways for younger children.
Hull the strawberries and leave them whole.
Pack a small handful of two or three of these into a container each morning, and send it with a water bottle.
