1. Bugs
On A Log:
They'll love it just for the name! Simply spread peanut butter onto
celery stalks, and then top with raisins (the bugs).
2. Melon
Balls:
Show them that ice cream scoops can be used for more than just ice
cream. Scoop the "meat" out of watermelon, honeydew, and cantaloupe
and serve them on a tray with colourful toothpicks in each one.
3.
Quesadillas:
You don't have to drive to a Mexican restaurant to enjoy these
melted treats. Simply sprinkle shredded cheese onto a tortilla. Fold the
tortilla in half and microwave it until the cheese is gooey. Cut the quesadilla
into triangle-shaped wedges and dip in salsa.
4. Frozen
Grapes:
The entire family will enjoy this cool treat once summer arrives. Place
a washed bowl of grapes into the freezer for an hour or so. Don't forget to cut
the grapes in half for smaller children and toddlers.
5. Peanut
Butter Squares:
Kids will eat just about anything that's covered in yummy
peanut butter! Spread peanut butter onto a cracker (or a rice cake). Add a
couple of apple slices then top with another cracker to form a little cracker
sandwich.
6.
Snackers Delight:
Children change their minds with the wind, so be prepared
with a medley of their favourites! Fill each cup of a muffin tin with different
treats such as nuts, raisins, cheese cubes, pretzels, carrot slices and
sunflower seeds.
