Creative Kid Snacks on TV
The girls and I were thrilled to see some of our snacks featured on The Dr. Oz Show yesterday.
They did a small segment at the end of the show about how some moms are using “food art” or “healthy plate art” to encourage their kids to eat healthy foods.
These were the snacks created by us seen on the segment:
We also created two plates just for Dr. Oz as a thank you for sharing our snacks on the show:
The girls were really excited to put these together with me. We got an official photo of Dr. Oz that we were working from. We used his face for one plate and his logo for another.
Logo Snack:
Spread Greek Yogurt (2x the protein than regular yogurt and free from all that excess sugar) onto a plate. Next, we sliced blueberries in half to allow them to lay flat in the yogurt and arranged them in the shape of the letters and the box that goes around them. Finally, we used baby carrots thinly sliced to create the other words in the logo.
Dr. Oz’s Face:
We laid a slice of provolone cheese onto the plate and added another piece on top of that for his nose. Next, we used some leftover beef from last night’s french dip sandwiches for his hair and his eyebrows. To make his eyes, we used some Greek yogurt and blueberries. For his mouth, we used watermelon and Greek yogurt. The stethoscope is made out of blueberries (sliced in half to lay flat), carrots, watermelon, and an apple.
A nice, balanced plate for Dr. Oz!
*Note: Dr. Oz does not endorse anything, and no one is allowed to use his name or likeness to sell anything. We are not selling anything or claiming that Dr. Oz endorses all of our snacks. We are simply sharing our experience with being a part of the show.*
Tune in to The Dr. Oz Show next Wednesday morning to see the healthy plate segment. If you missed it yesterday!
I’m going to share a little clip of Grace (my 5 year old) reacting when she saw our clip on TV on our FACEBOOK page. It’s so cute!
It’s time for the Weekly Kids Co-op!
As moms, we are constantly on the lookout for great teaching tools and resources to use with our children. I know I always benefit from seeing the creativity of others as they share lessons, activities, crafts, food, and more in their various blogs. Mommy bloggers have become popular for a good reason: information is power. Right, ladies?
The Weekly Kids Co-op is one of my very favorite such resources. I have been linking my snacks to this link party for months now, and I am excited to be able to co-host it here at Creative Kid Snacks.
If you are a blogger, link up your kid related posts to share with all of us eager beaver mommas. If you are a mom, take some time to look through all of the great ideas for teaching and playing with our kids. Pin what you love. Like I said before, information is power!
This party will take place every Thursday at Creative Kid Snacks. You will find it hosted on several other blogs, but the days the party goes live will vary from blog to blog.
Get ready for all the great ideas! Link, share, and enjoy!
Easter Snacks + Weekly Kids Co-op
Easter is coming! Easter has always been one of my favorite holidays to celebrate. How about some cute snacks for this special season?
I don’t think this bunny has ever been posted on Creative Kid Snacks, we made it over a year ago. This little guy has bananas for ears, a cottage cheese face, hard boiled egg slices for eyes, an almond nose, cheese whiskers, and raisin eyes. Cute and filling for the kiddos!
This little lamb is a perfect spring time, Eater-y alternative to the bunny. It’s a fresh and fun lunch. Check out how to make it here.
My daughter actually requested to have make a Jesus on the Cross plate on Good Friday. Although it may sound strange, it was a great way to remember and celebrate what Jesus has done for us. It was her way of honoring that special day, and, just like a pendant on a necklace or an illustration in the kids Bible, this is one more way this event is portrayed. See our post about it here.
This chick is another one that has not been posted on CKS. We made our chick out of cheesy pasta, added carrot feet and a beak, a raisin eye, and some fresh celery for grass. Easy, adorable, and delicious!
Tell the true story of the meaning of Easter with this snack – the Empty Tomb. Check out our post about it here.
I highly recommend making these four special eggs this year as you color your eggs. You can tell the whole story of Easter, and each egg has its own directions and explanation. Check out all the directions here.

About
I’m Amy; mother to two wonderful girls, wife to a smart and handsome husband, and maker of creative snacks featuring healthy, yummy food.Creative Kid Snacks is a blog designed to inspire your lunch and snack time creativity with your kids.
Here at CKS you will find EASY, HEALTHY, andIMAGINATIVE ideas for you to create with or for your kids as we make lunch time a fun time.
EASY
Creative Kid Snacks are made out of the foods most of us have in our homes. I don’t use any special tools or techniques that you couldn’t replicate, so you can feel confident that your creative lunch will come out great if you decide to try one.
HEALTHY
I have a passion for teaching my children to eat and LOVE healthy, whole foods. While not every snack is entirely composed of real foods, I try to use the most I possibly can in each plate I design. Sometimes I design plates based on the ingredients I’d like to feed my children that day, and other times I get the idea first and use the most appropriate food I have available to make it.
When our children learn to love eating healthy foods, they will continue to make healthy food choices in life. Creating these snacks together is a way to foster that lifetime appreciation for good food.
IMAGINATIVE
look forward to lunch time. They ask, “What can we make today for our
creative lunch?”.
Some of our all time favorites include. . .
