Jack-o’-Lantern Fruit Cups

Fruit is always a colorful and festive way to get your kids’ attention. To make some adorable jack-o’-lantern fruit cups, slice the tops of a few navel oranges. Scoop out the pulp and use a paring knife to carve the jack-o’-lantern faces. Fill them with grapes and other berries!
