How to Make Healthy Snacks As a Kid

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Use different shapes.

   You can choose simple shapes like squares, triangles, and circles, or more complex shapes like owls.
   
   For instance, if you think the plain square-shaped sandwich is boring, use a knife to cut from the bottom left corner towards the center of the sandwich’s top edge.
   
   Then cut another identically-sized piece from the bottom-right corner toward the same point.
   
   You’ll now have three triangle-shaped sandwiches (tri-wiches).
   
   Eat and enjoy your tri-wiches.Circles are also delicious snack shapes.
   
   Place your favorite sandwich ingredients into a whole-grain wrap.
   
   You could use mayo, cheese, meat, lettuce, tomato, and/or pickles.
   
   Roll it up by folding the edge closest to you to the middle of the wrap.
   
   Roll the new, curved edge that forms from the fold toward the back edge until it’s wrapped up nicely.
   
   Slice the wrap every inch (every two centimeters) along its length.
   
   Enjoy your round mini-sandwich wraps.
   
   Try using different shaped cookie cutters to make fun shapes.
   
   Try using a star-shaped cookie cutter in the center of your sandwich.
   
   Which sort of shape should your snack be? The sky’s the limit! Think about your favorite shapes, then bring them to life (with an adult’s help).
