Let's face it we all know what the kids are like when they get home from school; hungry, hungry, hungry. There are so many snacks on the market these days but what is a healthy snack the kids will actually like? What will keep the kids going until dinner time?
Use this kid friendly watermelon baller for ice cold snacks
Depending on the season watermelon and rockmelon is a great snack for kids. You can eat it freshly cut into slices or use a watermelon baller and freeze the watermelon or rockmelon for a yummy ice cold snack. Why not include your kids in the preparation of healthy snack foods? Kids love to be involved, make it fun and they will want to help out in the kitchen. You never know, you could have a Junior Master Chef on your hands.

Healthy snack for kids
Eating healthy is definately a choice, and teaching your kids that they have the option to choose healthy nutritional foods at a young age is a valuable lesson. Not only will it benefit their bodies physically, it will also impact their emotional and mental ability to function in life.
A little sweet now and then is a treat and let's face it, chocolate tastes good, but it's really the sugar we love. Train a child in the way to go and when he is old he will not turn from it. If you would like to read more about the nutritional benefits of choosing healthy foods please visit
