Today we created our own superhero, he's called SuperFruit! We were inspired by the Plum Baby Mighty Moments competition through Tots100. They are challenging bloggers to create a healthy superhero!  Ethan and I had great fun brainstorming ideas about superheros, what a superhero is and what healthy food is, then thought about what our superhero should be like.  Ethan loves superheros, Spiderman, Batman and Superman are his favourites.  I am also lucky that he's quite a healthy eater, he loves to eat fruit, but isn't a huge fan of vegetables.  So it wasn't surprising when it came time to choose a name for his superhero that he decided on SuperFruit!

We found a squishy apple toy to be SuperFruit's body, then made him a mask and a cape as his costume.  Ethan said that he needed a 'Batman symbol' but since he's not Batman, we had to think of his own symbol to represent him.  Ethan decided that his symbol should be a grape!  So we both drew some grapes on felt and I cut them out to attach to SuperFruit's chest and his cape.


Then we had to think about SuperFruit's super powers, Ethan decided that he:

• can find buried treasure without digging (must be all that healthy food giving him excellent vision)
• can fly (strong healthy bones!)
• can make the best smoothies with all the fruits
• can help people to eat healthy food
