Preschoolers love to help and create new things!\u00a0How about combining those two traits in the kitchen and enjoying some fun snacks together?\u00a0Below are 4 ideas to help you and your little one get started.<\/span><\/p>\n

Caterpillar Fruit Kabobs<\/span><\/h4>\n

Gather wooden skewers, grapes, strawberries, and frosting.\u00a0Begin by sliding a grape about 1\/3 of the way down the skewer.\u00a0Keep adding grapes until you have about an inch left on the end. Cut the stem side of the strawberry off and slide it on the end with the cut side next to the grapes.\u00a0Finally, dot a couple of eyes on with frosting and it is ready to enjoy!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rainbow Grilled Cheese<\/span><\/h4>\n

This treat tastes just like regular grilled cheese, but it\u2019s much prettier! Gather three or four small bowls and add shredded mozzarella cheese to them.\u00a0Then, put just a few drops of food coloring into each bowl.\u00a0Use a different color in each one. Mix the coloring and cheese together.\u00a0Then, assemble and grill your sandwich as usual.\u00a0Be creative in how many colors or the arrangement of colors you use on your sandwich and enjoy!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hairy Hot Dogs<\/span><\/h4>\n

This is a simple and fun activity for kids because they love silly things!\u00a0All you need are some hot dogs, spaghetti noodles, and a pot of boiling water to cook them in.\u00a0After dividing the hot dogs into two or three sections each, show your toddler how to poke the uncooked spaghetti noodles through them long ways, and let your child do the rest.\u00a0After each hot dog has been punctured, boil the hot dog and spaghetti mixture in a pot of water.\u00a0The finished product will look like long-haired hot dogs!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Animal Faces Toast<\/span><\/h4>\n

Prepare some toast and spread your favorite sticky topping on such as marshmallow spread, Nutella, peanut butter, honey, etc.\u00a0Gather various types of fruit and berries and slice them into edible pieces.\u00a0Arrange the fruit on top of the toast to make an animal.\u00a0Some fun suggestions are owls, bears, or monkeys, but use your imagination and see what else you can come up with!<\/span><\/p>\n

There are tons of creative ideas out there and many use common household ingredients, so start exercising creativity in the kitchen with your preschooler today! Begin making memories with your child that will last a lifetime<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n
