What better way to enjoy a summer day than to take your family on a picnic to a shady spot to enjoy a meal and run wild and free? These easy, healthy recipes are great go-tos for a picnic and the kids can help make them!
I think kids would enjoy making these for themselves. They may not be able to use a knife, but they can push a stick through the fruit. Teacher moment: It is a great way to practice fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Colleen at The OT Toolbox says, "Fine motor skills refer to precision, dexterity, and coordination of the hands. These are the skills that allow us to use our hands to manipulate materials like pencils, containers, clothing fasteners, and little objects." She also shares many ways to help your child with these skills. Check her out, but for now...here are the recipes!
(1) Caprese Skewers
What a perfect summer snack for kids and adults alike! They are delicious and colorful.
(2) Rainbow Fruit Skewers with (3) Cream Cheese Dip
So aesthetically pleasing and delicious. Pair this with the cream cheese dip or simply enjoy the fruit stick.
This recipe is for Hummus Salad Jars but I think it is cute on a skewer too! Either way, it is a delicious treat to have on a picnic.
You could put almost anything in your wrap. This is a veggie version, but you could definitely add meat to it as well.
