Easy Hassle-Free Snacks For Kids
If you love putting a cute themed snack in your child’s lunchbox, or if your child is zoom schooling and you want to make an extra special snack for them but without much work – we have a great options for you! We found this fun idea from a mom blog- Mama Cheaps– easy ideas for busy moms.
Ghost String Cheese
This is probably the simplest of all our Halloween treats, but ends up looking very festive! If you have mozzarella string cheese, draw a little ghost face with two black oval eyes and mouth. It ends up looking very cute! And, takes all over 1 minute. If you have cheddar cheese strings, draw a happy Jack-O-Lantern face on it! Hassle free spirit in under a few minutes!
Oreo Spiders
Make sure you have double stuffed oreos, because you will be using the extra frosting inside to make the eyes of the spider! Simply gather 8 pretzel sticks and a double stuffed oreo- that’s all you need! Use one of the pretzel sticks to scoop out a little of the inside frosting to make two eyes, then just stick four pretzel sticks into each side! Thats it!
Healthy Pumpkins and Ghosts
A healthy, easy alternative option comes from the I Heart Nap Time blog. First, for the pumpkin treats, peal a couple of mini tangerines or clementines. Then, stick a small piece of celery in the center for the steam! Second, for the banana ghosts, simply cut a couple of bananas in half. Then, for the eyes, apply small chocolate chips! Delicious and simple! You can also set up your favorite vegetables to resemble a pumpkin like the image above!
