I would suggest fruit kabobs. They are really easy and very healthy. All you have to do is pick four or five of your favorite fruits, chop them up and slide them on the stick.





If you really want to make it a treat, you can drizzle them with a fruit spread. Mix marshmellow cream and cool whip (equal parts) spoon into a ziploc bag cut the end (small!) and squeeze over fruit. Make sure that the fruit is dry so that it can stick and stick it in the fridge so that it will set.





The best part is they aren't messy and only take a few minutes to make. They look great and aren't expensive!
here are some i like the variety so i sent the pages ,they all look good ,but not sure how the fruit nut one will work for kids they look funny lol,but you know them better and the other page looks pretty good see what u thing good luck
