Yummy Granola
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Mix all ingredients but the
dried fruit together, and spread the mix onto a tray so that it is nicely
spaced out.
2. Bake for about 30 to 40 minutes until golden brown. Allow to
cool then mix with dried fruit and store in a jar. Serve with milk, granola,
plain yoghurt and stewed fruit. It’s Playtime! Get your kids to help make the
granola mix and put them in jars after baking. Have crayons or colourful felt
tip pens, labels, ribbons and stickers ready that they can use to decorate each
jar.

1. Get “ants” onto the “log” by spreading peanut butter on
one side of each celery stick and adding on raisins in a row.
2. To make “sandy boats”, dip one end of each apple slice in
peanut butter and coat dipped ends with chopped nuts.
Fun with food: Some vegetables, such as celery, are
an acquired taste and can be difficult to incorporate into a picky eater’s
diet. Mask celery’s strong, earthy taste with natural peanut butter, raisins or
chopped nuts. Kids love this!
