Fun aquarium kid treats!!
If you are anything like me you have a love hate relationship with the bringing of snacks for school snack time. I love to create the snacks but it is hard for me to figure out what really cute, healthy-ish, lesson related snack to bring. I always like to sort of incorporate what lesson they are working on with the snack. Here are some ideas for you to use.
fun kids treats
Kindergarten snacks aquarium theme. They were learning about fish and the ocean that week. We even took a field trip to a local aquarium market. This was fun to make.
First I made vanilla pudding. (The original idea was to use jello but jello and I do not get along.) I used blue and green food coloring to give it the aqua color. I spread the aqua colored pudding in my cookie sheet. A 9×13 cake pan would work for this or any serving dish with an edge. The “gravel or sand” is crushed vanilla cookies.
Then I ever so careful placed Swedish fish, shark fruit snacks, and gummy worms throughout the aquarium scene. Now I thought I was finished. My great friend, who happens to be a 3rd grade teacher, saw my snack and said, “It’s really great. How is the teacher supposed to serve it though? Scrape it out of there with a spoon?” Hmmm….right. So I went back to work and filled the bottom of clear plastic cups with the “sand” (vanilla cookies) and spooned aqua pudding on top.
Then I filled the mini aquariums with the candy Swedish fish and shark fruit snacks. You really could just do that and the effect would be really cute. I just wanted a neat little aquarium scene to go with the cups. The teacher used the larger aquarium snack scene for seconds. It was a big hit.

Tips for Kid’s Treats

Baking with Kids
When you teach your children to bake, they learn more than how to make delicious treats. Baking helps improve math and reading skills, encourages teamwork and teaches children about the “science of food”. But more importantly, baking together builds fond memories and creates traditions that last a lifetime.
In “Treats For Kids” you’ll find scrumptious kid-friendly recipes. In this Baking Tips Section for “Treats for Kids” you’ll also find more useful techniques and activities that will help children have a safe, fun and rewarding time in the kitchen.
Follow these easy steps to ensure a fun and safe learning experience with your “young baker” every time.
Delay your sprinklers for one day so they come a little later in the morning. This way everyone can get on their bathing suits and have fun jumping through the sprinklers on a hot day. But not for too long! This is a good time to teach them about conserving water, reducing utility costs, etc.
Bake a cake.

Summer Activities For Kids – Fun Summer Things for Kids to Do
fun summer activities for kids3
Summer is here and parents are spending time looking for fun activities to keep their kids active, busy and physically fit during their summer break from school. What parent hasn’t heard the phrase, “I’m so bored!” shortly after summer vacation begins? Some parents cannot afford to send their kids to expensive summer camps, and are needing ideas about fun, inexpensive and free activities for kids to do this summer.
One thing we can never have enough of is fun snack ideas for kids.
Left to their own devices a lot of kids would rather snack all day than sit down to full meals. In fact, it’s a prime opportunity to boost thier daily nutrition, but how do you keep snacks nutritious,exciting and fun?
Here are a few healthy and fun ideas:
Fruit on a Stick – Cut up a bunch of different fruits such as apples, bananas, kiwis, mango and add a few grapes. Thread them onto a skewer for a delicious summer time treat. To make it a little more special add a few pieces of marshmallows between the fruit.
Quick Banana Ice – Take a few bananas and mash them in a bowl. Cover and place in the freezer for about 30 minutes. Remove from freezer, fluff up with fork for a healthy, ice cream like treat.
Pitta Pizza – Spread a little tomato sauce on a pitta bread and cut into small triangular pieces. Top with a little grated cheese and place in a moderately heated oven for about 5 to 10 minutes until the cheese melts and starts to bubble.
Sweet Tortilla Shapes – Using small fun shaped cookie cutters cut fun shapes out of a tortilla (wrap). Place on non stick cookie sheet and lightly brush with a little butter. Lightly sprinkle (you only need a little) with a mixture of 1 part cinnamon and 3 parts brown sugar and bake in a moderately hot oven for 10 minutes for a sweet and crispy treat.
Frozen Mandarin Wedges – Peel a few mandarin slices and cover in plastic wrap. Place in the freezer for about an hour for a thirst quenching treat. You can do this with halved grapes as well or sliced bananas. Just make sure they are eaten while frozen (the fruit that is :0)
Banana Wheels – Place a cup or so of cheerios in a plastic bag and using the back of your hand or a rolling pin flatten until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Slice a banana into rounds and place a few at a time in the plastic bag. Shake lightly to cover the banana pieces (banana wheels) with the cheerios mixture.
Mini Wraps – Lightly spread a tortilla with a little cream cheese and place one or two slices of thin ham or turkey over the cream cheese. Roll tightly and cut into small rounds.
Jiggly Fruit – Make a portion of strawberry flavored jello per package instructions and place in the fridge for about 30 minutes. Open and drain a can of fruit cocktail and add to the jello and mix. Place back in the fridge until jello is fully set.
Ants on boats -Cut a few apple wedges and spread thinly with peanut butter. Add a few raisins over the peanut butter and enjoy. You can also use cream cheese instead of peanut butter.
Pick and Mix – Kids seem to really enjoy finger foods rather than eating too much of one thing. A great snack is to place a selection of finger foods on a serving plate and let the kids choose. You can serve a combination of foods like carrot sticks, cucumber rounds, cherry tomatoes, pretzels or pretzel sticks, small savory crackers, bread sticks, little cubes or slices of cheese, small slices of ham or turkey, grapes and other pieces of cut up fruit, mini muffins, and dried fruit such as raisins or apricots.

Mini Pizzas for a Fun Kid Snack or Meal

An example of a fun kid snack idea that kids can help make is a quick-bake pizza that’s covered in veggies. By letting the kids choose the veggies it’s a win-win situation!
This quick and easy snack (or meal!) for children is also really easy to let the kids help out with. You do the chopping and the baking, but they get to do the assembling… and that’s the fun part!
Makes about 8 mini pizzas– a fun kid snack idea if they want just one, or a whole meal if they want two or three.
Healthier Snack Ideas for Kids
fun kids snack ideas1
It’s time for the kids to head back to school. When they come home each afternoon have healthier snacks waiting so that they don’t grab for potato chips or cookies. Our members shared their ideas for fun and tasty snacks that are much better than the prepackaged ones that are so easy to grab. A little forethought will get them eating better and they’ll thank you for it. We asked our members to share their ideas for healthier after school (or any time) snacks for kids. Here’s what they suggest,
Healthy Snack Ideas for Kids plus Fun Serving Suggestions
fun kids snack ideas2
Snacks are essential for toddlers’ and preschoolers’ bodies – their body chemistry works better when they can graze throughout the day, eating small portions to keep their blood sugar stable. And because we offer so many snacks, it’s easy to get into periodic snack ruts.
This list is meant to help parents be mindful of healthy snack options and fun presentation ideas. Most of these snacks are quick to fix and portable, so you can pack them to send with your child on play dates, at preschool, or to just have handy in the refrigerator for when your child wants to grab a bite to eat “all by himself.”
If you have snack ideas that are not on this list, please leave them in the comments – I will add to the list as you leave ideas.
Snacks are loosely grouped according to the food pyramid, but there are many crossovers. And my disclaimer: I am not a nutritionist, so please let me know if I need to switch something to a different category.
Kids enjoy spending time in the kitchen. Allowing kids to make their own snacks gives them a sense of accomplishment. Cooking also gives kids practice in following directions, and time in the kitchen also offers parents the opportunity to teach kids about nutrition and measuring ingredients. Here are 10 easy snacks that kids can make.
Trail Mix
Trail mix is a versatile snack that kids can make. It is ideal for picky eaters because many ingredients may be used in trail mix. Provide four or five ingredients to make up the trail mix based on your child’s food preferences. Popular trail mix ingredients are dry cereal, small crackers, granola, dried fruit, nuts (use only for older children), chocolate chips and pretzels. You child can scoop each ingredient into the mixing bowl and stir them together. Trail mix is a convenient snack for kids on the go.
Fruit Salad
A fruit salad is a fun way to encourage kids to eat more fruit. Cut up four or five types of fruit for the fruit salad. Your child can help by washing the fruit and pouring the fruit into the mixing bowl. Your child can also use a melon baller to add watermelon or cantaloupe to the salad. Allow your child to carefully stir the fruit salad before serving.
English Muffin Pizza
English muffin pizzas are an easy snack appropriate for all ages. Each child can customize his pizza. Split an English muffin in half. Place it on a baking sheet. The child can spread a small amount of pizza sauce over the English muffin and top it with cheese, meat or vegetables. Vegetables can be made into a face to make this snack more fun. Bake at 350 degrees for 5 to 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Fun Snacks for Kids – Make it Mini
fun snacks to make with kids1
If you want a child to clean their plate, you might try downsizing the amount of food that you give them. Making fun snacks
that children will eat might just include miniaturization.
Keeping the snack pint-sized for the pint-sized eater will encourage the child to eat everything on their plate. The child will
have a feeling of accomplishment because Mom is pleased.
Pediatrician suggest that children who are picky eaters respond to smaller portions of foods or food that are scaled down in
size especially for them. Sometimes when we load up a kids plate with too much food, we discourage rather than encourage
their appetites.Lots of food on a plate may overwhelm a small child. A bright idea is to offer small mini portions of food to
children and watch them clean their plates.
Some innovative ways to add fun and nutrition to snacks include:
1)Adding color and shapes to basic foods like sandwiches offers children a new way to look at old favorites.
2)Create faces on a sandwich with vegetables like carrots of raisins makes a fun lunch treat.
3)Using molds to cut the sandwich into interesting shapes.
4)Add peanut butter and raisins to celery to make this nutritious snack look more appealing.
By providing small portions, the child is more likely to taste new foods. Some mini portion recipes for kids are offered

Looking for fun healthy kid snacks? As parents, we certainly know the side effects of giving our kids sugary snacks. Aside from not being good for your teeth or health, sugar can make your kids bounce off the walls!
On-the-Go Kid Snacks
Remember the old TV shows, “Leave it to Beaver,” and, “The Brady Bunch”? The kids would wander in after school to find fresh-baked oatmeal cookies and frosty glasses of milk on the table for their after school snack. Mom (or was it the housekeeper?) would be standing there in her apron, beaming, as the kids enjoyed their feast and talked about their day.
Fast forward to 2005. We dash into the house at 3:23. One kid needs to use the phone, one has to find his backpack, the baby needs changing, and everyone is hungry. Oh, and we all need to be back out the door on the way to swim lessons by 3:30. I grab a couple of bananas on the way out, like I’ve done a thousand times before. Good thing my kids like bananas!
The truth is, it’s tricky to provide healthy snacks- even on less hectic days. Parents know that kids love to snack. We’d like to see them noshing on nutritious fare, but we don’t always have time or creativity to manage this. The supermarket is full of kid foods in bright packaging… but much of it is full of sugar, salt, and saturated fat.
Frozen Danimals
This all-natural, lowfat yogurt snack comes in a tube or a cup. It has no high-fructose corn syrup, no artificial flavors, and no artificial colors. Plus, it’s cold, fruity, and colorful — a true summer snack hit.

Quick and Easy Snacks for Toddlers
fun and easy snacks for kids3
I love the vegan lunchbox lady as much as the next gal, but most weekday mornings, I’m lucky if I have time to pour my coffee, much less pack a gorgeous homemade snack for my toddler to take to preschool. But that doesn’t mean that I’m going to feed my kid junk.
Luckily, there’s no reason for any health-, planet-, and animal welfare–conscious parent to resort to chicken nuggets, jerky, or yogurt when there are so many quick and easy vegan snack options for even the most finicky eaters. The following are some of my son’s favorites:
• Nature’s Choice cereal bars, which contain just whole grains and fruit—no added sugar and no cholesterol-laden milk
• “Cheesy” vegan crackers in fun shapes that will make other preschoolers green with envy
• Chocolate bunnies (What else is there to say?)
• Larabars, which are fruit and nut bars that are packed with nutrients, about as unprocessed as you can get, and sweet enough to satisfy a mid-afternoon craving (If your family has a history of nut allergies, though, you may want to hold off on these until your little one is a bit older.)
• Clif Kid twisted fruit sticks, which each contain a serving of fruit but have no pesky processed sugars
• WholeSoy yogurt, which is a great source of calcium, protein, and healthy probiotics (The thought of my kid drinking or eating cow mammary secretions makes me want to throw up a little, so soy yogurt allows us to rest easy knowing that we’re not supporting the cruel dairy industry.)
• Fresh fruit, such as pears and bananas, which he enjoys “conquering” all on his own (My son won’t take tiny pieces of fruit anymore, so whole fruit works well. Just be on the lookout for the occasional overly ambitious bite!)

Six Fun, Educational Websites for Kids
fun educational websites for kids3
Summer will be here before you know it. Chances are, you are already looking for summer programs meant for your children. However, children won’t always be at programs, and they won’t always be outside playing. On top of that, you want to make sure that your child is doing something educational over the summer, so as not to lose an academic edge.
The good news is that there are plenty of fun, educational web sites for kids. Whether you are looking for something to keep them occupied for an hour or two on a rainy day, or whether you want them to have a solid learning base for the next school year, these six educational and fun web site may be just the thing.
1. PBS Kids
PBS Kids offers a number of great tools for learning. Videos, games and more provide a great deal of educational fun for young children. It is a great place for early childhood learning. If you are looking for content appropriate for children that are a little bit older, you can direct your kids to PBS Kids Go!, which offers games and other content aimed at a slightly older crowd. My son adores PBS Kids, but is just about ready to graduate to Go!
2. Starfall
If you want to help your children stay sharp with reading, you might consider Starfall. This program is meant for children in kindergarten to second grade. Includes helpful reading games for special education children as well. Find fun ideas related to the seasons and holidays. This web site is focused on helping kids learn to read phonically, as well as creating a fun atmosphere that encourages a love of reading. Even though my son is almost beyond Starfall, he still enjoys visiting the site on occasion to play some familiar games and review his skills.
3. NASA Kids Club
Want to get your kids interested in science? Then the NASA web site is the place to go. The NASA Kids’ Club. There are interesting games to play on this site that teach about space and science concepts. Additionally, children can see pictures taken from space, and also learn about recent space missions, and see pictures of the astronauts in action. There are also pictures from the International Space Station.
4. National Geographic Kids
Help you children learn about nature and animals. National Geographic Kids is full of interesting ideas, games and activities. It includes videos of different animals in their habitats. Learn about different critters, participate in contests, meet interesting people (like the Dalai Lama) from the world, and find fun, educational activities to do as a family. There are also interesting educational presentations on the earth’s processes and interiors, such as a great video on volcanoes.
5. SFS Kids
The San Francisco Symphony offers a great web site for music lovers. Learn about different instruments. This site will also teach your children about musical theory, and about the different attributes of music. If you want your child to develop an interest in music, SFS Kids can be a great place to hang out online. You do need the latest version of Flash in order to access the music lab, due to the high quality of the music site.
6. Metropolitan Museum of Art
If your children are interested in art, you can direct them to the web site of Metropolitan Museum of Art, which has a great “Explore & Learn” section. This web site has information on different famous painters, as well as games that use famous artwork to help children learn about color, shapes and more. Children learn about art history, and play a cool game that helps learn now different colors are created.
Make food more fun for children by being inventive with the shapes and appearance of their diet. Try a new twist on some old favorites and get kids to eat healthy.
Children can be fickle when it comes to food and it’s hard to keep up with what they like. One week they might love granola bars, so you stock up on those only for them to inform you the next week they don’t like them anymore and haven’t for at least a year. They seem to have a totally different concept of time.
You can offer children very similar foods that are still healthy and nutritious, but served in different shapes or ways and all of a sudden they like them again.
A ham and cheese sandwich for example is very plain, yet wrap that in a tortilla or on a pita and it’s an exciting new meal.
Put a smiley face on a muffin with raisins or make the vegetable dip smile and it looks more edible to kids.
Cut apples up into bite size portions and make a dip with yogurt.
Use metal cookie cutters to make different shaped pancakes. (Pour the batter inside a heart, elephant, star etc.) You can also shape bread with cookie cutters for sandwiches.
Make a popsicle out of a banana by inserting a popsicle stick into it. If you put a little syrup on it then coconut, nuts or raisins will stick to it before freezing.
Let children decorate their own pizza offering all sorts of colorful healthy toppings. Here’s a fun recipe for homemade pizza.
Ask your kids to assist you in making kebabs. They can pick out their own ingredients, but give them healthy choices like cherry tomatoes, pineapple, mushrooms, peppers or baby corn. It’s fun for them and they’re more likely to eat something they helped make.
Experiment with different shaped noodles. The same spaghetti sauce just seems more fun somehow on shells, bows or butterflies.

There’s something about the phrase “top educational websites for children” that makes my stomach feel ill. It may be because I imagine parents plopping their children in front of a PC and only allowing them to play games that involve solving math problems or answering science questions. The torture! However, I was from a generation where even though I was an “A” student, when I returned home I’d immediately race to the computer and fire up the game Ultima for an evening of medieval adventure. With that said, I do feel that today parents have a far greater selection of fun games or sites that are also educational and won’t bore your poor kid to death.

Healthy Kid-Friendly Snack Ideas
Since over 20 percent of kids’ calories come from snacks, they should be a nutritious part of your child’s diet. Our nutritionists vetted 50 packaged treats, looking at calories, saturated fat, sugar, and sodium contents. Ruled out: any that exceeded healthy limits, or that contained artificial sweeteners, trans fats, or high-fructose corn syrup. Then our kid testers chose these 14 favorites.
