Cut fruit up and make it into a fruit salad,or make different types of fruit amd put them on plates blimefold them and say we are going to play a guessing game that way they wont know what they eating once you know what they like start giving them that or diguising it. Another good thing it to make smoothies and milkshakes a reward. When they have there first bite of fruit as that may make them want to eat more.

How to get your children to eat fruit
-
If you open freeze grapes they become like delicious tiny ice popsicles! Children adore them and grown ups think they are pretty good too! Plus you do not get any left over slimy grapes when they become overripe or bruised!
-
If you freeze a banana, you can tell them it’s an ice lolly.
-
thread them onto a stick and make a kebab - much more fun to eat
-
Make fruit into smoothies - you can add milk, yogurt, honey, even oats and they cannot get enough of them
-
Not ideal, I appreciate, but I can get my son to try different fruit when we have some melted chocolate to dip it into first. You could puree it and pour it over ice cream as a sauce. Make a fruit salad, with all sorts of fruit in it, dish it up as normal, squirt some cream onto it and suggest, if you need to, that the children only eat what they like and to leave the rest in their bowl. Hopefully they will eat the fruit they wouldn't normally do because it won't have a name that they can pick up on as being a fruit they 'don't like'.
-
Make a banana split - a banana cut in half lengthwise, two scoops of ice cream in their favourite flavour, sprinkles and little bits of fruit. Alternatively, just try the really sweet fruits like mango and nectarine, strawberries, that sort of thing. It'll satisfy their sweet tooth and be healthy.
-
Get your children in the kitchen with you and when you've cut up lots of fruit, let them arrange it in funny faces or patterns of their choice on a plate. Let them try several varieties. If you eat along with them and tell them how delicious it is, they soon copy you! Another way is to make 'Rainbow Kebabs'; give each child a kebab stick and let them skewer fruits of different colours until they have a rainbow- strawberries for 'red', banana for 'yellow' etc. One last thing tip, have a colour day- for example, say to them "Today, we will only eat purple fruit and vegetables" and see what you can come up with! It's useful to suggest this when you're at the fruit and veg aisle of a supermarket so they can pick out things of the colour.

I've just got my son to eat a strawberry even though he thinks they're 'disgusting'. I told him that as Wimbledon is on tv it is traditional that you eat strawberries and cream - very sneaky but it worked!
