Next, measure 3 cups of water and pour it into the bowl with the oats.

🔧 mixing bowl

Practicing pouring water helps develop fine motor skills.

If the bowl is heavy, ask an adult for help to avoid spilling.

Stir the oats and water together until well combined.

🔧 spoon

Use a big spoon to mix well, making sure all oats are covered with water.

Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb the water and become soft.

Oats are a healthy breakfast choice that gives you energy for the day!

While the oats are resting, wash and prepare your assorted fruits by cutting them into small pieces (ask an adult for help with cutting).

🔧 knife

Always be careful with knives - it's best to have an adult help you!

After 5 minutes, stir the oats again and serve them in bowls.

🔧 spoon

Practice scooping the oats into bowls carefully to avoid spills.

Top your oatmeal with the colorful fruit pieces to create a rainbow effect.

Eating a variety of colorful fruits helps you stay healthy!
