Here is a really healthy alternative to sweets such as cupcakes and cookies for kids snacks. These work especially well for School and Day Care events like Birthdays.
Fruit Kabobs
Wooden Skewer Sticks (I used the small ones @4inches)
Suggestions for filling the Kabob:
Strawberries
Pineapple
Grapes
Blueberries
Kiwi
Watermelon
Blackberries
Marshmellows (Explore Fun shapes and flavors)
Cheese
There are lots of different ways to make a great kid friendly kabob treat. First make sure all fruit has been prepped by washing and/or peeling if required. Use your firm fruits or items on the ends to hold everything together and get to putting your items on the stick. If you want to get really creative you can use cookie cutters to create fun shapes with some of your fruit and cheese. Refrigerate if not eating right away but eat and enjoy as soon as possible.
Fruit kabobs can even be dipped in a healthy flavored yogurt dip. Find your favorite flavor of yogurt and get to dipping.
