Making Healthy Eating Fun!
Capturning kid’s imaginations can make them want to eat fruits and veggies!
One great healthy treat is called, Go fish! Scoop low-fat cream cheese into a bowl. (Tint it with blue food coloring so it looks like a pond.) Put fish-shaped crackers in a separate bowl. Tell kids to dip celery sticks first into the cheese, then into the crackers to see how many “fish” they can catch!
One more is the Mixmaster! Set out bowls of chopped or sliced fruit, then let kids play chef (complete with a hat and apron) by choosing which ones to put in the blender for a smoothie. Have them add ice and juice (orange and carrot juice work well), then supervise as they turn on the blender.
Most of all parents, have fun with the your children and enjoy the healthy snacks and browse BrownEyedBabyBoutique for some great toy ideas for Christmas!
