Easy and fun healthy snack idea

When craft time can serve as snack time, children can not only unleash their creativity, but also look forward to eating what they made themselves. That’s one of the reasons we love this owl snack! One of the first blog posts I ever wrote – years ago! – included an owl snack. And I still think making owls is fun! But how not to make owls when they are so easy and so adorable.

Feeding our kids snacks is second nature to us. Their little stomachs and growing bodies are always hungry! However, sometimes a snack can satiate a child’s appetite for a moment only to make them hungry an hour later. The key is not only paying attention to the volume of the snack, but also what the snacks are made of. A snack that will keep you full now and hours later includes a combination of fiber (for bulk), fat (for satiety), carbs (for energy), and protein (for bulking). When all of this is in one snack, I can guarantee these kids will be satisfied. These owl rice cakes hit the spot.
