Half a ripe mango, scored inside and then turned inside out
Sonar X4: “It looks like hair!”
Sonar X7: “Can I put it on my head?”
Sonar X3: “It’s Mango Hair!”
Later, to facilitate the fair-sharing of a pint of Ben and Jerry’s “Fossil Fuel”, I cut the ice cream, carton and all, into four pieces with a big knife. That was also met with delight by all three Sonars.
Teaching them to scoop small bites, suck the ice cream off the fudge dinosaurs, and spit them into their hands for species identification: Probably not such a good idea.

Ooooooooo. Ahhhhhhh. I don't even have kids to be amazed, but I want to figure out how to cut fruit that way! It's purty. I also want your knife that can slice through carton and ice cream together. Now that's some chopping power!!
My kittens are easily amused, thankfully. E.g. I put an empty soda can box on the floor = hours of fun.
K. Time grocery shop and change the wash, and then my grading procrastination is over. Le sigh.
What is it with the mango????
Lucy adores turning it inside out and eating the little rectangles. Who would've thought that was some kind of cutting edge way to get your kids into mango...eh, who cares? As long as they eat it, right?

Perhaps it's sort of a kid thing: wanting to turn things inside out to understand them. ;)
Works sometimes with avocados too.
