8 Fun Ways to Let Kids Play With Their Food

Kids Can’t Resist These Creative Ways to Play With Food

Goldfish Snack Cakes

Goldfish crackers make snack time fun, especially when they top this kid-friendly creation. Spread blue-tinted cream cheese on top of a rice crack to create water, and decorate the scene with fresh veggies and goldfish for a healthy and satisfying snack.

Cheerios Sheep

These adorable creatures are sweet, gooey and a ton of fun to put together. Use the stove to make the marshmallow-cereal mixture to create the body, and then let the kids create their sheep with chocolate-covered almonds for heads and pretzel stick legs.

Protein-Packed Pretzel Scooters

This snack craft is almost too cute to eat! Thread a toothpick through each end of a piece of string cheese, attach cucumber wheels, and create handlebars with pretzel sticks and a dab of cream cheese.

Teddy Bear Toast

Teddy bear toast is a fun way to start the day or as a nutritious and filling afternoon snack. Spread whole grain toast with peanut butter, and use banana slices, blueberries and raisins to create a bear face.
