Magic Banana Trick

Magic banana? Yep, magic banana. Well, magic banana trick maybe. I guess the banana itself isn't magic.  Or maybe it is.  Either way, your kids will think you are magic!

Are you ready???  Your going to give your kids bananas and say "abracadabra" and then poof - their banana will be already sliced inside the peel.  Yep, inside the peel! 

This is super fun!

Take a banana (in the peel) and a straight pin.

Poke the pin into the banana in one of the "seams" and drag the pin/needle back and forth inside the banana peel to slice the banana.

Continue to do this every inch or so to slice the entire banana.

Our banana was super ripe so it made these little brown marks on the peel but my daughter didn't really notice.

Now do the whole abracadabra thing and have them peel it.

My daughter was completely confused how the banana was sliced and still in the peel. 

I had a hard time taking pictures.  But can you see the banana slices?

Simple and tons of fun!  Wouldn't this be fun in a school lunch?  I think it would be the talk of the lunch table =o)

See?  Magic!
