Service with a Smile
Do you have a big bag of plastic Easter eggs at your house? We sure do! How about using them more than once a year? Little kids love little containers.
These colorful spring classics are perfect for snacks and other goodies. Use them for some goldfish crackers, a few grapes, some raisins, cubes of cheese, or a little scoop of tuna salad.
The clever mom at A Kailo Chic Life created a whole lunch for her little one using these handy containers. Check out what she chose to include.
Spring into Salad
Spring is the season of baby greens, including lettuce, spinach, kale, and pea greens. These sweet, tender early greens are the perfect size to make a little side salad for your kids.
Kids love things served in special bowls. Use your imagination and find little food-safe dishes around the house for your child’s special salad. Ice cream dishes, tea cups, ramekins, little jars, cocoa mugs, or even a sugar bowl or candy dish that’s lost a lid can make a salad into a treat.
You can toss in a few blueberries or other spring fruits to sweeten this nutritious dish. Your mini-salad is sure to be a hit with its colorful ingredients and its special bowl.
