![]() ![]() If you’ve ever hulled strawberries, you know how much work it can be. ![]() True, you can eat around the core and stem, then toss it in the trash, but that doesn’t work if you’re using them in a dish like pie or shortcake. You have to remove the stem, then hollow out the center. This is especially true if you’re serving them in large quantities. Aubrey at Montessori Mischief has a great tutorial for that we had our strawberries earmarked for ice cream and strawberry shortcakes so we didn’t slice them this time.Strawberries are among the most delicious summer fruits but preparing them can be a pain. You can also teach children how to slice the strawberries with a strawberry slicer after they have been hulled, which is a lot easier (and safer) than teaching them to slice them up with a knife. You could have strict rules about eating as you go, I personally think that it’s fine as long as children aren’t licking their fingers - it’s a great lesson sometimes when children see that snacking along the way reduces their final product, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a bit of a preemptive reward for hard work!
