Healthy Snacks for Kids
On The Move
Food Shapes taste so much better! Who said: "Don't play with food?"
Well ... HERE WE DO but we eat our healthy snacks too!
The rule: Eat what you build!
Perfect after-school, road trip, Saturday lunch or sports field snacks for kids that are both yummy and nutritious!
Food shapes are simple to create:
Use cookie cutters to press out shapes from cheese, sliced cold meats and bread.
Cut veggies in strips and slices.
Use the off-cuts from cheese and cold meats mixed with cream cheese and whip up a savory dip - too thick, add a little milk.
Add loads of freshly sliced fruit, seeds and nuts, baked ginger snaps, oat bars, cheese straws and pretzels and walla.... You have healthy snacks that your kids will love to create fun pictures with AND eat!
On the road?
It's great to stop on the side of the road to snack under a tree but what if you don't want to stop and the kids get hungry in the car?
A quick lining of plastic wrap over a small tray will provide space to build creative healthy snacks on that won't slide around and catch all the crumbs up - ready to roll up and dispose of! Bite-sized healthy snacks packed up in little airtight containers are just right when you're peckish.
