21 Fun (and Healthy) Easter Snack Ideas. Kid Approved!

These 21 cute and healthy Easter snack ideas are a bit of fun and lots of yum!

It’s no secret I have a sweet tooth! I am a chocoholic from way back and there is just something special about Easter chocolate! In fact, Easter may just be my favourite holiday on the holiday calendar. Unfortunately, my girls have both inherited my desire for the sweet stuff! So in the lead up to the holiday I am doing everything in my willpower to resist buying Easter chocolate to eat before the big day, and trying to focus instead on healthier pre-holiday treats – like these fun Easter snack ideas for kids!

Perfect as a morning or afternoon tea snack, many of these ideas will also travel well in school lunch boxes or be fun additions to an Easter party. While some of the  recipes sneak in a little chocolate, I’ve really tried to collect together healthier kids Easter snack ideas, that won’t overload them on sugar and sweets.

    Super cute ideas Christie! Pinning to my healthy snacks board. Personally I'm happy to leave the compound chocolate for the next person, but the waft of freshly baked hot cross buns is irresistible......

      Hot cross buns are the bomb, Danya :)

    Cute ideas! I think we'll give that cute chicken a go! My girls will love it! :) And a good reminder on brushing. We almost always get the bedtime brushing done but could definitely get better at doing a morning brush too! I really need to script that into our routine a little better!!!

    We always got a new toothbrush (and a pair of winter jarmies) for Easter when I was a kid!

    I think we might have to make some Muffin Bunnies - but I think i might make them with pikelets. They are super cute :)

    That muffin bunny is the cutest thing ever - I know what we'll be having for breakky on Easter Sunday morning. I didn't know there was a sugar neutralising toothpaste for kids. Michael has just progressed from the toothpaste for really little people to the "6+" range and he doesn't like the taste of the one I bought him. I'm going to give this one a try. Thanks!

    I am so hungry now. Pinned the chick, so yummy. My kids will LOVE this! No brushing reminder needed here. My children really enjoy doing it. Sometimes they do it after lunch. lol
