Quick & Easy Snack Ideas For Toddlers, Kids & Crazy Adults Like Myself
If you’re looking for super easy and funsnack or breakfast ideas, these unique recipes are perfect for toddlers, kids, teenagers and picky eaters of all ages.
You know, even though kids are super annoying, they’re also kinda cute. I’m pretty sure I secretly live through my children sometimes, making excuses to create fun snacks and act like a child. I’m not sure why nobody takes me seriously, but I do love playing with my food. And, if you’re creative enough, kids will eat just about anything when you make it fun and exciting, even healthy food!
Here is a list of some of my favorite quick snacks and simple recipes to make. Most of them are made with just a few cheap and basic ingredients that you probably already have at home.
The cutest breakfast and snack you’ll ever make!Toddlers and kids love this super fun and creative food idea; in fact, they can even assemble the animal faces themselves with a little help. This creative idea just requires a spread like peanut butter, almond butter, Nutella, or cream cheese. Then you simply top it with fruit and raisins to make fun and creative animal faces. This adorable animal toast is also healthy and cheap to make with simple ingredients!
I don’t care if you have kids or not, everyone should eat cute animal faces on toast. Who doesn’t want to eat a teddy bear or monkey for breakfast? I do! With a mimosa because I’m an adult.
Ham, cheese, and olives also make for adorable little faces on buttered toast to resemble eating your pet your favorite little furry friend. The idea here is to get creative with whatever ingredients you happen to have on hand.
