Fun And Healthy Play Date Snacks

 Hosting a play date calls for some serious planning, as you’ll be handling not just your own frisky toddler but a few more as well.

 

 

Planning games and activities ahead of time is a must to avoid last minute hassles or boredom. Another important subject is that of snacks to be served during a play date.

Tempting, yet healthy snacks are essential for energetic young children. They can keep energy from flagging, helping kids to keep up the tempo till the play date ends. Always remember to ask in advance about your young guests’ food preferences and allergies. To be on the safe side opt for recipes that do not call for common allergy-inducers like peanuts. Tasty and healthy snacks on the side during an online free bingo game with the kids can be a nice pass time for the parents and an indirect way to make the kids eat healthy without making a fuss.

Colorful finger foods, and cookies and sandwiches in different shapes are a big hit with kids. Make an activity out of serving crackers by letting kids pick from a selection of toppings. Not only do they have fun doing it, they are also more likely to finish what’s on their plate. A mix of cereal, honey, dry fruits, and chocolates chips served in little pastry cups is another attention grabber.

Greens, veggies and cheeses can be attractively presented in mini-pizzas to keep the children engaged. A regular fruit salad with a plain yoghurt dip works well as a dessert. To make a more colorful dessert, add cubes of fruit to Jell-o and let it set in small moulds. The result will be a bright, shimmering dessert with a surprise fruit inside. These snacks are sure to keep toddlers happy and enthusiastic all through the play date.
