if you have sites for kid-friendly easy to make recipes please add them too.

Answer 1

Dried fruit is great for them. And is convenient, doesnt need to be refrigerated or anything.

Answer 2

make smilley , silly etc. fruit faces or veggie faces

Answer 3

Go-Gurt, fruit gummy snacks, cookies, cereals, rice krispies treat, pop tarts, banana chips

Answer 4

If you can use a refrigerator or ice chest, you could fill celery sticks with peanut butter, or serve carrot sticks.  Sunflower seeds don't need to be kept cold.  Raisins might be good, or whole grain crackers and peanut butter.

Answer 5

Something I have made with my kids is a mix, cheerios, golden grahams, raisins, pretzels. They really love it. Sometimes for fun I also add a few colored marshmallows.

It also depends if you have access to refrigeration but fruit kabobs are also great. Most of the fruit in the middle east is fairly reasonable just stay away from blueberries, raspberries and blackberry they will break the budget in a hurry!

Answer 6

Lots of good answers, but dear stay away from peanut butter, some children are alergic to it, and if they are it can really harm them.

Answer 7

try looking online at the food network website...I found great recipies for kid halloween snacks..and treats
