Caprese Stackers
Who needs Legos when you can have so much fun with food? Making these Caprese Stackers is entertaining and educational! It reinforces sorting and pattern making. My kid quickly figured out that the stacks fall over unless you start with the biggest slices on the bottom and work your way up. I loved watching him assemble these beauties.
