Children often like to eat their own
creations.
Here are some ideas for children to make
their own
kabobs. The idea is to have several different
ingredients
on hand. Children can mix and match the
ingredients
to make their very own kabobs.
Ingredients
Here are some ideas of foods that you
may want to have
the children choose from, but you do not have to stick to these
foods. Be creative!
- grapes
- melon balls
- canned mandarin oranges
- pears
- bananas
- orange wedges
- kiwi
- peaches
|
- apples
- cherry tomatoes
- cucumber slices
- green, red, yellow, or orange
pepper
- cheese cubes (different varieties
of cheese)
- cubed chicken breast
- cubed meat (e.g. kielbasa)
|
Necessary:
- Kabob sticks
Kabob sticks can be sharp. Close
supervision of young children is required.
As an alternative, you may want to use
thin straws
Method:
- Cut foods into half-inch chunks
or wedges
- Soak kabob sticks (to soften and
prevent splitting)
- Have children choose their favourite
foods.
- Help children thread chosen foods
onto a soaked kabob
stick
