A Basket of Fruit is Great for a Child’s School Birthday Celebration

This year send a basket of fruit to your child’s school or daycare to celebrate a birthday. Most schools and daycares have strict limitations on the types of foods that you can send with your child on a birthday in order to share a birthday treat with the other kids. Since so many kids have restricted diets either due to medical reasons or due to the diet that the parents prefer the child to follow most schools and daycares only allow a very small variety in the types of treats that you can send. Sending a basket of fruit filled with healthy oranges and grapefruit is a fun way to acknowledge your child’s birthday without worrying whether or not the treat will be allowed or worrying that some kids won’t be able to eat it. No matter what dietary restrictions the other kids may have they will be able to eat citrus fruit. The sweet taste of the fruit and the bright colors will make the fruit a nice treat during the school day and the kids will appreciate being able to share in your child’s birthday.

Another reason why you should send a basket of fruit to your child’s school or daycare to celebrate a birthday is that citrus fruits, like oranges and grapefruits, are easy for the kids to carry, and won’t break or leave a mess if they get dropped or left behind. Unlike cupcakes, cake, candy and other sweets, which can leave frosting, crumbs, and melted sticky sugar everywhere if the children drop them or put them down and forget about them citrus fruits are relatively mess free. They taste sweet enough to please the kids but are easy to clean up after, which will please the teacher. You can send your child to school with a basket of fruit that has enough fruit for the class and for the teachers and not have to worry about the fruit making it to school and still being edible. For parents that work not having to make a special trip to the school to deliver cupcakes or other treats is an added bonus, since most employers frown on employees taking time off during the day to run personal errands.

A basket of fruit is also much less expensive and less time consuming than making dozens of cupcakes or cookies or other treats. One phone call or five minutes online and you can get a delicious basket of fruit filled with fresh citrus fruit delivered right to your door.
