Safety tips:

To prevent injuries, an adult should slice ingredients. To prevent choking, do not give children under age 3 foods that may cause choking (for example, whole grapes, raw carrots, raisins). For children ages 3 to 5, modify these foods (for example, chopping raw carrots finely or into thin strips).
