Help, need allergy free snack recipes for preschoolers that are fun!?

The preschool my daughter attends requires that snacks be dairy free, nut free, and gluten free which doesn't leave a lot of options. The kids are getting sick or raw fruit and veggies and apple sauce. Would greatly appreciate any recipes or snack brand suggestions.Help, need allergy free snack recipes for preschoolers that are fun!?
Colored Popcorn


Servings: 4





Popcorn


Food paste (any color desired - from a craft or cake decorating supply store)


Butter, melted





Add food coloring to a pan of melting butter.





When the colored butter is melted, pour it over the popcorn as usual.


























SNOW CONES





Freeze orange juice (or any other flavored juice) in ice cube trays,


Pop frozen juice cubes in a plastic bag to store. Put three to six


of these cubes at a time in a blender. Turn blender on and off


until cubes reach snowy consistency. Pile into a cup to serve.























Fruity Gelatin Popsicles


1 small box gelatin


2 cups boiling water


2 cups fruit juice





Dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Add juice and pour into Popsicle molds. Freeze.





Makes 16 to 18 average size Popsicles.























frozen bananas





Aquarium Gelatin


1 small box blue or green gelatin


1 cup boiling water


1 cup cold water


24 gummy fish


1 cup whipped cream


Fish crackers (optional)





Make gelatin according to package directions. When it's slightly cooled, divide it among six plastic cups.





When gelatin is partially set, add three or more gummy fish to each cup. Place cups in refrigerator for 2 hours, or until gelatin is firm.





At serving time, top with whipped cream to form ';surf.'; Serve with fish crackers, if desired.











Jell-O Popcorn Balls


1 cup light corn syrup


1 small box any flavor gelatin


1 cup granulated sugar





For varied colors, use different colors of gelatin. Bring corn syrup, sugar and gelatin to a boil. Pour over 4 quarts of popcorn and mix well. Form into ballsHelp, need allergy free snack recipes for preschoolers that are fun!?
I recommend earth's best organic sesame street products with all the sesame street characters like elmo, big bird, and cookie monster


they have a Choice of breakfast, that include organic waffles, cereal, and oatmeal, for meals they have organic natural pasta, mac and cheese, and mini cheese raviolli, and frozen whole grain cheese pizza. Snacks include organic smiley snacks with flavors of banana and vanilla, and letter of the day cookies, sunny day snack bars, and organic crunchin' grahams.
I'd yank her out of that preschool. They are punishing the many for the few and are too lazy to police what the few allergic kids get.





That said.....





--Rice Krispy Treats (can add a few Cocoa Pebbles or Fruity Pebbles to add color/flavor and change things up)


--Chex mix made w/ only Crispix or Corn/Rice Chex (no nuts or pretzels)


--Corn Pops Cereal in little baggies


--Mini-Marshmallows and carob chips in little baggies


--Fritos Corn Chips


--Potato Chips, Potato Shoestrings
get some crackers, and make little faces on them with fruit, and do fruit they don't get as often, like pineapple or mango, other than that I have no more ideas





Good Luck
