18 Fun Snack Ideas for Kids

ByChristie Burnett

Do you ever get stuck in a rut when it comes to what to prepare for snacks? I do! Fortunately it’s summer school holidays here in Australia which means more time to prepare snacks together with Immy and AJ, they both love helping in the kitchen! The following suggestions are easy to prepare (which makes them perfect for involving small people) and they also make great after school snacks, and even work well as simple party foods.
