Hello and welcome to another munchkin meals! Hailey’s eats have been a lot of the same lately. I share a lot of what she eats on instagram and facebook if you’re interested. Somehow in between mental breakdowns (thanks for all the love on my last post- so glad I’m not alone!), I found some time to play in the kitchen.
Next time I’ll share Hailey’s meals and snacks, but this time I couldn’t help but to get in the spirit with these fun kid-friendly party snacks!
Cheesy Reindeer- White cheddar cheese wedges. The antlers are made tiny twist pretzels that I broke apart. The nose is half a green olive and the eyes are peppercorns.
Rudolph Water Bottles- I’m seriously not a craft person, but these were so easy! I used a hot glue gun to glue googly eyes and a red fuzzy ball to the mini water bottles. Then I cut pipe cleaners to twist and create antlers.
Candy Cane Pizzas- I used my whole wheat dough to bake candy cane shaped pizzas. Then I topped with pizza sauce and sprinkled cheese in a candy cane pattern, then baked until done. You could always use pepperoni, tomato slices or red peppers to create the stripes on an all-cheese candy cane pizza too!
Banana Snowmen- This is a great one to get the kids involved with! Slice bananas (slice them thick so they don’t break apart when you kabob them onto lollipop sticks!). Use chocolate chips for the eyes and a tiny real carrot slice for the hose. Two pretzels make arms and the festive hat is made from an apply slice and a blueberry. Hailey thought these were hilarious!
Popcorn Snowmen- Again with my handy dandy glue gun! More googly eyes make these popcorn cups fun and silly. The noses are made from orange construction paper, then I used a bit of red ribbon to make a scarf. Fill it up with popcorn for a healthy, festive party snack!

I’m sure people are busy during this time of the year, but if you’ve posted about what your kids are eating, please link it up!

These are sooo cute! I’ll definitely be trying some with my younger cousins when I go home for Christmas! Such a great way to get them in the habit of eating healthy during the holidays 😀
Thanks for sharing 🙂

These are so fricken cute!!!! I hope that I can be half as creative as you in about a years time!! If Nia didn’t devour everything we set down in front of her right now, I’d officially be screwed. Creative juices come back once they’re not occupied by mounds of studying, right?! haha

So timely! We have a playgroup Christmas party coming up that I’m hosting and I was thinking I needed to look around for some healthy and cute party snacks.
And you’re so not crazy! Didn’t comment yesterday but I totally have days like that…where you wonder if you’re going crazy and start diagnosing yourself. 😉

So cute! I am struggling with feeding my picky 15 month old, so I will be happy to visit these link ups.
Anastasia says
Oh man, the cheese reindeer is adorable! I’m going to make one for sure.

SO cute!! I wish I was that creative!!
Kristen @ The Concrete Runner says
OMG! So cute! I am so going to use these – especially the banana snowman! MacKenna is LOVING snowmen and Santa lately – maybe this will get her to eat some healthy foods! And the pizza – too cute! Does Hailey just eat the LC cheese straight up? Or does she use crackers to dip them?
Lauren B. says
Pinning all of these! Love!

Ahhh! How did I miss the link-up again! I missed last month too. 🙁 Did the day change from the first Thursday of the month to Wednesday??
Either way, here’s the link to my Munchkin Meals, this month.

I love all of the little holiday foods you’ve created. They’re all adorable and look yummy.

I just reopened the link to go through midnight, so please add your link! I think it might of closed early this time (sorry!!), but usually I post it the night before the first Thursday of each month so people can begin linking up. You’re right though– first Thursday! 🙂
Jillian @ Baby Doodah! says
You’re awesome!! Thank you so much for reopening!
Courtney @ Don't Blink. Just Run. says
Those are SUCH cute food ideas! I’m definitely going to show my wife. She is a nanny and would probably love to do these with her boys.
