Fruity Feast

This is a great Idea to get kids eating healthy.

Get all sorts of fruit (eg. paw-paw, apple, banana etc.) and cut up. Arrange in patterns. Below is an example:

Cut two slices of Banana (you can leave the skin on to make it more interesting) for the eyes, a slice of watermelon or paw-paw for the mouth, half a strawberry for the nose and to add a salady touch to it you could put some curly parsley for the hair.

Another Snack

Here is another snack post that the Children will enjoy. Great for Party's.

Swamp Anacondas
Make 2 or 3 lots of green Jelly, depending on the depth of 'swamp' you want. Pour into a large Baking Tray and put in the fridge until half set. When half set, drop in a small handful of lolly snakes around the 'swamp'. You could any other Lolly's in like rocks or plants to get it more interesting. Then put it in the fridge til thoroughly set. Cut into generous slices and serve.


See ya again soon!
