• 1/4 cup mushrooms, quartered
• 1/2 cup marinara sauce
• 6-8 wooden skewers

How to make it

1. Cut cherry tomatoes, mushrooms and black olives (or whatever veggies your tot prefers) in half, if needed.
2. Take a wooden skewer and thread on all the ingredients in any order you prefer.
3. Heat the marinara sauce in the microwave for 30 seconds or in a small pot on the stove.
4. Pour the dipping sauce in a kid-friendly bowl to serve along with the tortellini sticks.

Wooden Skewer – you can use any wooden skewer you have on hand, but make sure to cut the pointy end off before serving. Wooden coffee stirrers work well too.
