Children of all ages can put together foods like salads, sandwiches and pizzas. Keep fruits and vegetables on hand that are cleaned and cut into small pieces. Kids can spread peanut butter on celery sticks or apple slices. Give kids a plate of fruit, vegetables, crackers and low-fat cheeses. They can make their own sandwiches.
Children can top their own small pizza.
You can use an English Muffin, ready-made pizza dough, or make you own dough. Wraps are fun for children to make and eat. Start rolling one end, fold up the bottom of the tortilla, and continue rolling. Children can make quite a mess in the kitchen but they can help clean up. This is a great way to spend time with your children and get them to try new foods.
