I don't have kids that age either but I can only tell you what has worked with my nephews/niece in the past.
They always got very interested in fruit when I got them to help make "faces on plates" out of the fruit of their choice and cut apples into "stars". All that involved was cutting an apple in half crosswise instead of lengthwise (the resulting seed pattern looks like a star). Apparently it made the apple taste better ... not sure how that worked. =)
They also like fruit and veg cut up into little sticks that they can eat with hommus or some other kind of dip. It looks like fun food if you know what I mean.
