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

Toast a slice of whole wheat bread, half an English muffin, or half a bagel.\u00a0 Help your preschooler spread a layer of nut butter or cream cheese on one side of the toasted bread of choice.\u00a0 Place two banana slices and raisins at the top of the bread to create the owl\u2019s eyes.\u00a0 Your preschooler can now arrange round oat cereal on the owl\u2019s body to mimic feathers.\u00a0 Finally, add a couple apple slices or sliced strawberries on the sides for wings.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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

After cleaning and cutting celery stalks, assist your preschooler in spreading nut butter or cream cheese into the large indented side of the celery piece.\u00a0 Ask your preschooler to arrange grapes or cherry tomatoes that have been cut in half on top of the nut butter or cream cheese to create the segments of the caterpillar\u2019s body.\u00a0 Use a dab of nut butter or cream cheese to add chocolate chip eyes or use candy eyes from the baking section at your local store.\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 Using fun shaped cookie cutters to cut your preschooler\u2019s favorite sandwich into fun shapes can turn a typical lunch into a fun lunch!\u00a0 Try using a variety of small cookie cutters to allow your preschooler to make several bite sized sandwiches in fun shapes.\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
