It's a fun and healthy snack for your kids. My husband couldn't stop laughing when he saw them first time. Kids loved it.
I have to admit this one was a little hard to make but look how much healthy vegetables you can stuff in it. It has a lot of cucumber olives, turkey as a nose, hehehe, 4 prezels used for legs and 1 green olive cut in half to make eyes.
You can use tomates with the cucumber. Make some wings out of letus another great idea. Broccoli would work too. Just use 
your imagination.
Look at this little crab! Not only you can tell them it's a new little friend but you can also make these fun snack sandwiches together. It always taste better when they made it and it doesn't matter how bad it taste. They will eat it anyway.

Healthy Snacks for Kids - It's all about Presentation
That's right, it's all about presentation. Kids love a lot of different colors and they have a great imagination. By presenting your food in a fun way you'll engage your kids in a game. Making healthy food is a very rewarding game.
When kids are little they just starting to develop tastes for different foods and if you give them a lot of healthy food they will begin to like it. Before you know it, they will pick their favorite healthy food and it's going to be hard to make them eat unhealthy.
Every parents want his kids to grow up healthy and happy. You need to start as early as possible. That's why I decided to create this web site, so I can help parents to develop healthy eating habits in their kids. So here are some fresh new idea presentations for you.
Rice, string beans and cucumbers. Kids would say - No way I am eating it! And how about this little lobster made out of mango and oranges?
Or we have a vegie island where palm trees are made out of carrots and green peppers. It's so rewarding when your kid can't wait for a healthy snack. My 4 year old is always asking if the little craby is coming over today.
But not matter what you do use your imagination and remember healthy snacks for kids should be always fun. Let me know if you have any snack ideas.
Fun Healthy Snacks for Kids Part II
I got a lot of emails about my last funny healthy snacks for kids at had different sandwiches that you can make to get your kids to eat healthy and have fun with their food. So I decided to post few more. I know that it takes time to make and not all parents this days have time to make funny characters out of the food.
Great idea is to make it once or twice with your kids together so you can teach them how to make it. Next time when you don't have time give the all the ingredients and they will play with them for hours.
Here is a cow sandwich that took some time to make. If you don't have time for fancy sandwich go for a simple version. Make a frog. This frog took 5 min to make and if you notice it has a lot of lettuce that your kids need. Use your imagination. Kids don't notice the details. If your frog is not perfect don't get upset. Kids not going to notice.
