And the least scary part? All ingredients can be purchased with WIC benefits! Choose a plain yogurt brand, size, and fat level allowed by your WIC program and included in your benefits. Check your WIC food list or shopping app before you buy.

hands Little hands can help!

  • Invite your child to pick a job: peel the banana, mash it with a fork, stir in the yogurt, or spoon the mixture into bowls. They can also help make the faces.
  • Try asking, “Will your ghost look silly, surprised, or sleepy?” There’s no wrong way to decorate. A wobbly smile or a big purple swirl is part of the fun!
  • If your child would rather keep the foods separate, that’s okay. Offer the yogurt and fruit side by side and let your child explore at their own pace.
