Snack-a-licious

Gabby and Lilly are not snackers, so to speak. They like to munch on little snacks like puffs or pretzel sticks. But they have never been very big on sitting somewhere and having a snack. I've never been able to postpone dinner by an hour or so by giving them a good sized snack. They just aren't interested. So in a moment of desperation creativity the other day, I come up with a new (to us) snack.

I was having an apple and so I cut paper thin slices of it for the girls. Then I poured a little bit of Kool-Aid sugar free, tropical punch drink mix powder out on their trays. They were hesitant at first, but because they are Erickson/Loman children and by virtue of that LOVE dipping sauces they caught on quickly! They loved 'dipping' the apples into the powder! They thought the bright red was very neat! And tasty, too!

And of course I caught them red...mouthed!

Koloring and Kool-Aid...What could be better than that?!?

I'm planning to go serious grocery shopping tomorrow and thinking about buying all the Kool-Aid colors of the rainbow! What healthy snacks do your kiddos enjoy?

As a side note, I'm not sure why I take so many vampire-baby looking pictures?!? Remember this? Perhaps I'm gearing up for New Moon?!?
