Fun lunch and snack ideas for children

Do you have a problem with your children eating good? You can always just hold them down and force them to eat...OR you can try these ideas (-=

• Kabobs- Get the little wooden sticks and put grapes/pineapple pieces/watermelon/peaches etc.. on them or let them create their own fruit kabobs (-=
• Lets face it, kids like to dip~ try carrots and ranch, celery & peanut butter, toast and jelly (make your own! (-=) Yogurt and fruit is nice also!!
• Make it into a freeze! Get frozen fruits and blend it w/ice- added bonus since its summer here is the extra water from the ice!
• Alphabet soup- Try to have them "eat" their name or certain letters
• Use cucumbers/celery or other fresh fruits/veges to make pictures like flowers/grass and houses etc..
• Pizza rolls- they are EASY throw in the microwave or oven and also good after cooked to put in a bowl or baggie to take with you in the car if your in a hurry!!
• Spray cheese and crackers! You can make shapes/letters etc !!
• Build your own taco/sandwich! If kids can cook it or make it they are more likely to eat it in our house!
• Pizzas you can use whole wheat crust & add tomatoes on top with lowfat cheeses (-=
• Spaghetti is always a hit in our house!
• Hamburgers and fries & fish sticks and fries are fun!
• Try the vege chips w/ ranch dip...yummy!
