Hey there and welcome to Friday on me and b. Today we round-up five super fun snacks which are some of my favourites. They are easy to prep and easy to make and even though they involve lions and koala bears, I promise you, they don’t take too long. And even better, they may just be the thing to entice picky little eaters 🙂 Wouldn’t that be fab hey?!
If you’re short on time or just got in from nursery, then these cute snack ideas are ideal!
Make a Xylophone Veggie Snack in 5 Mins
As part of the A-Z blog challenge last year, I had to come up with a fun food idea each day during April. The letter X saw me build a Xylophone out of food! Bonkers I know but I thought X-ray would be harder. So here we have a cute xylophone snack or lunch time treat. Honestly, give it a go – it didn’t take long and it looks so cute!
Watermelon Umbrellas
Another A to Z post saw me making these cute watermelon umbrellas. The seeds make beautiful rain drops. I used a circular cookie cutter to make the umbrella edge. It took minutes.
Lion Veggies
This hummus Lion is the absolulte cutest. Grab a rice cake, spread with hummus and use yellow pepper and carrot sticks to make the mane. Perfect.
Koala bear
Mini rice cakes make this cute koala bear snack. You can spread them with cream cheese or peanut butter –whatever your little ones enjoy. I used blueberries to make eyes and added some asapargus stalks. Random I know, so perhaps try cucumber of celery?!
Jelly Fish
And to finish off, check out our jelly fish. They are literally fish made of jelly. Grab your jelly and plop some bits on a plate. Use fruit to make eyes and fins. And you are done.
So there we go. Six super simple snack ideas to keep you going! I absolutely love these cute snack ideas and the boy loves them even more. I find they even make tea and lunch time a bit more enjoyable for me!

Amazing! Hummus lion and Koala bear are my faves and actually looks relatively un-scary to make, even for someone like me that has never tried anything like this before. I love your creativity 🙂 Fab post, thanks for sharing it on #MarvMondays. Emily
