It can be hard to get preschoolers to eat healthy food, but our ABC Snacks series is jam-packed with recipes that you can feel good about making with your little ones.
This kiwi kabobs recipe is going to make everyone happy. It combines a few of the foods that kids love best with some hands-on fun. And because it’s made with wholesome ingredients, you don’t have to worry about adding this yummy snack to your menu.
Not only will your child get a tasty treat, she’ll have fun with the preparation too–spreading peanut butter and jelly, cutting with a cookie cutter, and threading food onto a wooden skewer. These kid-friendly kabobs are sure to please both of you! You can certainly tell that our lovely little friend loved them, can’t you?
Have peanut allergies? Substitute the peanut butter and jelly with your favorite sandwich fixin’s!
