Today we have a fun and (often) healthy food round up post for you….. the majority of the fun foods for kids shared here are indeed healthy snacks, but we have snuck in a couple, that are well, just FUN.. and will delight the kids. I also have to confess, that I don’t really have the time to “faff around preparing cool looking food”.. no I am a busy person, with stuff to do and lots of stuff that never seems to get done.. BUT… every so often, I do like to DELIGHT MY kids with a little fun food surprise. Be it for a random fun after school snack or as a special birthday treat – there are times, when I really love these kinds of quirky food fun ideas.
So without further a do, let’s explore the fun food we have for you today!
I love these Frozen Banana penguins – they look easy to do, they look yummy and they are overall PRETTY HEALTHY ( a bit of chocolate is alright, don’t you think?!). And these Frozen banans would be great in both Winter (ie Penguins = Winter?) and Summer – as a cool down treat.
Here is a great treat for Summer.. and it definitely falls into the healthier DIY treats – fruit based ice pops! Don’t they look and sound fabulous?
