My church is having a bible school and the theme is outdoorsy, i was wondering if there were any fun healthy snack the kids could makes.
trail mixes are great for kids, since they get to get their hands into all sorts of ingredients, and customize the amounts just to their liking…
some great ingredients that are fun healthy and taste great are:
-dried fruits (craisins are great, come in bulk and are sweet)
-nuts (almonds, cashews, peanuts are cheaper and still taste good)
-chocolate chips (they’ll like those for sure)
-pretzels (minis)
-m&ms
-cereals like chex or cheerios
they’ll eat them up, though not so quickly that you won’t have any time to sit down while theyre busy

Ants on a Log …… pieces of cut celery, with either cream cheese or peanut butter in them (or squirt cheese) with raisins on top

you could make the lady bug
basically, the main components are half an apple and pretzels and whatever you want for a head (a grape and a toothpick works great)
that way, with green or yellow apples, it’s just a bug. to make it more of a ladybug, stick raisins onto a red apple with peanut butter.
this one has the potential to be much messier than the ants on a log.
there’s always trail mix, where you give the kids small portions of what they want to go in their mix and they put it all in a baggie and shake it.
