Playing with food is what kids love the most. You can get your child involved in baking, cooking, and all things food-related, so here is a list of 10 food crafts we love that will cure both hunger and boredom!
Creamed Honey Apple Dippers
This is the perfect snack or craft for little ones. It’s also healthier so they can enjoy these dippers.
Craft for Healthy Snack Bracelet
This craft is great to do with your child on rainy days or when they are craving sweet treats. It’s possible to make it a date with your child by taking your little one to the local bulk food store to browse the aisles and pick out their treats. This is easy to adapt to your child’s tastes by choosing soft snacks and fruits they enjoy and avoiding those they won’t eat. Get snacking!
Rainbow Bread and Edible Painting
Although you don’t want your child to eat sugary “paint”, this craft allows them to express their creativity. Are you not a fan of white bread? Let them decorate cookies, cupcakes, and pancakes!
Rice Krispie Treat Monsters
Rice Krispies Do I need to say more? Because they’re so easy to make and are loved by everyone, even picky eaters, they’re a classic favorite in every kitchen. These are also great to share with the kids! You can let them be creative and buy candy eyes and teeth to make the treats more frightening.
Edible Marshmallow Slime
The current craze for slime among school-aged children is slime. However, some of the ingredients in slime can be harmful and toxic to small hands. What’s the solution? Make sure it’s safe and delicious! Children love to play with food, so make it fun!
Easy Apple Donuts
These apple donuts can be both delicious and healthy! This snack is made without fried dough or icing, leaving you with sticky fingers and sugar crashes. Instead, it uses fresh apple slices and cream cheese. This snack is great for kids, even if they eat it for breakfast.
DIY Rock Candy
Are you a budding scientist who has a sweet tooth? This is such fun to do! This was a fun experiment that I tried a few times in my childhood. I always enjoyed looking at it for a few weeks before I finally enjoyed the fruit (candy). My labor.
