\"Fun<\/figure>

Preschoolers can be picky when it comes to eating.\u00a0 Sometimes it just takes a bit of creativity to make healthy foods more fun and enticing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Owl Toast<\/span><\/h4>\n

Begin by toasting a slice of whole wheat bread and spread a layer of nut butter on one side.\u00a0 Add banana slices and raisins for eyes, round oat cereals for feathers on the owl\u2019s chest, and apple slices for wings. Another option is to use a toasted English muffin or bagel half in place of the toasted bread.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fruit and Veggie Caterpillars<\/span><\/h4>\n

Clean and cut celery stalks into the desired length.\u00a0 Spread either nut butter or cream cheese into the deep groove of the celery.\u00a0 Slice grapes or cherry tomatoes in half and line them up on top of the nut butter or cream cheese.\u00a0 You can get creative and add candied eyes to the first grape or cherry tomato or make caterpillars of varying lengths.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cracker and Pretzel Spiders<\/span><\/h4>\n

Spread nut butter on one side of a round cracker and stack another cracker on top, making a sandwich.\u00a0 Break pretzel sticks in half and stick them into the nut butter along each side of the crackers to create legs.\u00a0 Use a bit of nut butter to adhere a couple chocolate chips as eyes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hot Dog Mummies<\/span><\/h4>\n

Wrap strips of canned crescent dough around a hot dog to resemble the bandages on a mummy.\u00a0 Bake the hot dog in the oven until the dough and the hot dog are cooked all the way through.\u00a0 Serve with whatever dipping sauce your preschooler prefers with hot dogs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cookie Cutter Sandwiches<\/span><\/h4>\n

This tip is super simple!\u00a0 Make your preschooler\u2019s favorite sandwich, as usual.\u00a0 Use a fun shaped cookie cutter to cut the sandwich into a fun shape.\u00a0 Consider using a variety of small cookie cutters and create several small sandwiches your preschooler will find enticing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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

This snack requires supervision while enjoyed, since the skewers can be dangerous for a preschooler.\u00a0 Choose two or three of your preschooler\u2019s favorite fruits and cut them into bite sized pieces.\u00a0 Alternate the fruit onto a skewer to create a fruit kabob.\u00a0 You can add miniature marshmallows to the mix to make it even more enticing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
