Cooking Kids

If there’s one thing kids love, it’s a variety of snack foods thrown together into one bag. Homemade trail mix is one of the easiest, yet fun, snacks a kid can make on their own. The key to letting kids make this completely on their own, is to provide all of the ingredients in their own separate baggies. So grab a big bowl, a handful of small baggies, a spoon and some of your child’s favorite trail mix ingredients, and watch them cook up a healthy snack.

Easy Trail Mix (each ingredient is about a half a baggie full)

Honey roasted peanuts

Granola

Cheerios

Popcorn

Gummi Bears

M&M’s

Mini rice cakes

Dried fruits

Yogurt covered raisins

Pretzels

Goldfish or other favorite crackers

Place each ingredient in a baggie. Throw all the baggies in a bowl and tell your child to dump, stir and enjoy. Store the extras in a container for the rest of the week snacking.
