Colorful Kebabs

Getting kids to eat their vegetables is no easy task. Sometimes, no matter how hard you focus on making sure your child has all the right foods at their fingertips, he or she will simply refuse to eat them. Kanger Leenee loves color and wants your child to be excited about eating as much color as possible!


Here's a quick tip to keep your little one focused on the colors rather than the fact that his or her food might be healthy, too:


Make kebabs out of the food in front of them. Rather than trying to get your child to eat a sandwich, cut the ingredients into cubes and place them in several small bowls on the table. Let your child make his or her own kebab out of the ingredients. Have them try to make the most colorful kebab they can!


Suggestions: use pineapples, strawberries, apples, cucumbers, cheese cubes, bits of bread, lettuce, tomato, green peppers, meats. You can use whatever your child finds appetizing and whatever you find easy to cut and clean up! As they get older, you might want to include dipping sauces for added splashes of color and flavor.
