Healthy Snack Plates No Kid Could Resist!

Snacks can feel a little overwhelming in the summertime- with kids home all day, it can often feel like you’re in the kitchen all day! Things can get a little mundane if you’re doing the same thing over and over, and kids are more likely to eat healthy snacks when they’re presented in a fun and cute way! Check out these adorable snack plates that would have any kid excited to eat fruits and vegetables!


Any child would love this decorative plate, but if you have a little astronaut-in-training they’ll be over the moon with this cute fruity rocket!


These little crabs are so adorable! These would be cute any day in the summer, but especially on a pool or beach day!


Here is another version of a cute crab snack! I personally love strawberries and my kids are huge fans of watermelon, so I feel like this would be a popular option at my house for sure!


Ok these turtles are just too cute. I would almost have a hard time eating these because they’re so stinkin’ adorable! Almost….. ;).


This snake would be such a fun way to get some veggies on your kids’ plates! I have a couple little boys that I think would be all over this snack plate!


These butterflies are so elegant. And they look so simple to make for such a big impact! Such a fun summer snack!


Maybe I’m biased because I practically live in the mountains right now, but this is my favorite! You could easily recreate this with cheese quesadillas, sandwich slices, crepes, pancakes, anything! And I love the subtle addition of broccoli ;). Maybe my kids would eat this version!


This little train is packed with veggies and is so adorable! My only worry would be my little boys spending more time playing than eating ;).


Another train- but on a much larger scale! This would be a great snack for parties, family potlucks, or just a day when you happen to have a ton of kids at your house! I also love how easy this would be to change to your own tastes. Use hummus, ranch, French dip or whatever you love to dip your veggies in, and swap out any of the veggies for your kid’s favorites!


These little boats are adorable! They may take a little more preparation, but I think the reception would be well worth it! And they look delicious!

Which of these will you try first?
