Use a clean cutting board to cut vegetables. Make sure to use a separate board for fruits and vegetables if you have one.

Using separate cutting boards helps prevent cross-contamination.

Cut the carrot sticks, cucumber slices, and celery sticks into bite-sized pieces, and place them on a clean plate.

Cutting food into smaller pieces is a useful skill for making snacks easier to eat.

Wash the grape tomatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Place them on the plate with the other vegetables.

Always wash fruits and vegetables before eating them to keep them safe!

Scoop hummus into a small bowl and place it on the plate as a dip for the vegetables.

Scooping and serving is a great way to practice using utensils.

Arrange the whole grain crackers on the plate next to the vegetables and hummus for a healthy snack combination.

Whole grain crackers provide fiber and are a healthy choice!

Enjoy your healthy snack while discussing the importance of food safety and cleanliness in the kitchen!

Always remember to keep your workspace clean when cooking.
