Goin Fishin' and MORE Fun Food

I just thought this was a cute and fun food idea.....


Also, I made this for Kristin's kids around Halloween, but I'm guessing the kids would think it was fun ANY time of the year.  This snack was a BIG hit.  I just used the poppin' fresh breadsticks in the can and ties knots at both ends.  Served with marinara sauce out of a jar. 


...And finally, for a night when Cade has a game, this would be a fun dinner:


Oh...and one more, and then a link to a blog that talks about other very CREATIVE ideas for fun with food for kids. 


Here's a part of what she said on the blog...
  • Layering – Let your child build their own healthy pizza on a piece of whole wheat pita, making sure to have lots of different veggies to choose from. Demonstrate how to build a sliced mushroom tower or use thinly sliced red and green peppers to make a train track across the pita. Try the My Favorite Mini-Pizza recipe; it’s perfect for stage 4 toddlers.
  • Building – Building can be a fun way to help kids focus on the foods in front of them during meal and snack time. Try giving your child a few pieces of pretzel sticks and some cheese cubes and show them how to build a stick man and then eat him. You’d be surprised how quickly the stick people disappear. Another fun building activity is creating fruit skewers. Chop several different types of fruits and let your child build their own perfect fruit skewer. I like to use plastic drink stirrer as they don’t usually have a sharp pointy tip.  This is also a great way to get your toddler to try new fruits!

Love you all!
