Fun Snacks for Kids




kids snack recipes

Here are some of our favorite kids snack recipes. Over the years we have enjoyed many types of fun healthy kids snacks.

We have tried to be adventerous to keep the kids interested in their kids snacks.

Some of these fun snacks for kids can be made by the kids with help. Others they will be able to make themselves.

You will need to experiment and see what your kids like the most.

If your child has allergies some of these recipes may not be suitable.

A good tip is to pre prepare a finishing school snack. This way your kids can eat as soon as they come in.

For our youngest daughter we had to make a snack and drink and take to school at pick up time.

She just couldn't wait until we got home to be refueled.

Advice

We all need to eat 5 portions of fruit or veg or a combination per day.

This is for a healthy weight and lifestyle.

They are full of vitamins and m.inerals.

Tinned, frozen, chilled, fresh and dried fruits and veg all count.

A medium glass orange juice counts as one portion.

chopped vegetables can be hidden in foods such as bolognaise.

TIP: I make a tomato sauce with tomatoes(tinned or fresh)and vegetables.

Put tomatoes in a pan with garlic and herbs and vegetables and cook.

Puree and use as a pasta sauce or as a sauce for bolognaise.


Resources

Most of the items you need for these cooking activities you will have already in your kitchen.

For food ingredients try making lists in advance and buying with your weekly shop.

Alternatively use this time to buy ingredients as part of the activity.

It is a good part of learning about planning. Why not grow your own herbs, fruit and vegetable
