Fun Food Activities for Kids

November 24, 2024 | By: The Darling Dish

Enjoy healthy snacks while also having fun in the kitchen with your kids! Engaging in food-based activities is a great way to spark creativity, build valuable skills, and enjoy delicious treats together. Check out these ideas to inspire your next family activity!

Get Crafty in the Kitchen

Let creativity soar by making edible art with fresh fruit! Turning snack time into craft time by arranging fruits into fun shapes like rainbows makes for an activity that's both entertaining and nutritious. Kix Cereal shares a great idea for making A Fruity Butterfly Snack with orange slices and green grapes. The best part of this craft is there should be little to no clean up, if your kiddos finish their snack!

Make Fresh Fruit Juice Together

It's always a good time to introduce your kids to the joys of fresh fruit juice! All you need is a juicer and your favorite Darling Citrus® (Darling Oranges®, Darling Clementines®, Darling Lemons®, etc.) to get started. Let the little hands press the juice, then sweeten it to taste with sugar, honey or agave. Feeling adventurous? Try this Ginger Citrus Juice Shot for a zesty twist!

Have a Picnic in the Park

Pack up some easy-to-eat snacks and enjoy a picnic in your backyard or a local park. Bring sandwiches, chips and of course, plenty of fresh fruit! Not only are juicy  Darling Clementine® segments portable and delicious, but they're also an excellent source of Vitamin C!
