Here’s a fun and creative way to encourage your kiddos to snack well AND play with their food.

All you need are:

• A variety of snacks that can easily be punctured with a toothpick. (the options are endless ? go wild)
• Toothpicks (colored toothpicks make it more festive!)

Let them build away?

Of course my ?master builder’ started with a complex building.

Star Wars spaceship comin’ atcha.

Love that proud cheesy smile.

It was too fun not to join in. Lo and behold, my creation.

Look Mommy, it’s a cactus.

The sun never looked so delicious.
