Peeling helps practice fine motor skills. Always keep fingers away from the peeler.

Peel the cucumbers in the same way, starting from one end and working to the other.

Remember to apply gentle pressure while peeling.

Once peeled, cut the carrots and cucumbers into sticks about 3 inches long.

Cutting practice helps with knife skills, but always have an adult supervise.

In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, ranch seasoning mix, and water until smooth.

Use a spoon or spatula to mix it well.

Serve the veggie sticks with the ranch dip in a fun, colorful bowl.
