Food and Fun For Kids

Food and Fun For Kids

 

Kids love helping out in the kitchen. It can also be a big source of pride for them to tell you that they made the meal, almost all by themselves. It's also wonderful being able to combine fun, hands-on play time with meal preparation time.

There are incredible many children who suffer because of an unhealthy nutrition. We are not referring to kids who don't eat too much, but to the ones we try so hard to give everything to. A lot of products or types of food contain different E-s, especially chips, snacks and jelly. Our kids are happy, then we are happy, but they will end up having an ulcer or gastritis.

Here is a healthy and funny recipe for kids to whom they will like very much.
