Before you know it, their help will be valuable in more ways than just for the fun of spending time together. These simple ideas of fun and healthy snacks will whet everyone’s appetite!

Homemade on a stick

It’s well worth a little mess when you make your very own yummy popsicles! With the help of UPPFYLLD ice lolly maker it’s so easy you can put the kids in charge of the making! For a little less mess, just fill the moulds with fruit juice or yoghurt instead.

The icing on the cake

Making a beautiful cake in no time is childishly simple! Especially if you have KAFFEREP chocolate cake, LÄTTBAKAD cookie cutters and SMAKSAM piping tool set at hand in the kitchen. The result both looks and tastes like a pipe dream!

A happy looking snack

Since the beginning of times children have been told not to play with the food, but why? The main thing is that the snack or food is appreciated, the plates are emptied and the mood is good. So let’s welcome a snack that feed both a hungry stomach and a creative mind.

Keeping the fingers safe

When the kids are old enough to help with cutting fruit or vegetables, it’s a good idea to let them start their cutting career with SMÅBIT knives. They have rounded tips and handles that prevent fingers to accidently slide down under the blade. That way all fingers are safe, and a little chef’s apron keeps the clothes clean.

Let the fruit take a spin

If there was a Nobel prize for food, the first prize would most definitely be given to fruit! It’s a winning combination of vitamins, energy and sweetness, always ready to go. With LÄTTBAKAD cookie cutters almost any fruit is easily made to look as good as it tastes. Laid out like this on the spinning SNUDDA lazy susan tray, it’s nothing short of eatable art!

Seriously cool drinks

Some fruit or berries will make any juice or even plain water more festive than soda. Put them straight into the IKEA 365+ jug with lid or make your own fruit-filled ice with SPJUTROCKA ice cube tray. Whatever goodies that little chef is cooking in the kitchen, it’s always important to stay hydrated too.

Let your imagination set the flavour

There’s no reason one person should fix the breakfast or snack for everyone else in the family. Let everyone choose their own favourite dish, perhaps the KALAS bowl, and fill it up according to their own great ideas. Yoghurt, HJÄLTEROLL muesli and fresh fruit is a great start.

Can you spell a tasty meal?

Setting the table is another perfect task for the children, and they might bring it to a whole new level of fun. Just make sure to add UNDVIKA corner bumper to all the sharp corners before they get going. KALAS plates and cutlery can handle being dropped, and they will add a splash of colour to any meal. Finally, let the place setting be spelled out with love and KAFFEREP biscuits! Can you think of a tastier way to practice spelling?
