When kids are busy they’re not thinking about what foods they like and don’t like. If you’re prepared with a veggie-packed snack, it might get gobbled up quickly just for the sake of hurrying back to playing. Wrap these individually in foil for take-along snacks or lunch; or serve right away for a tasty dinner. Cut in half for little hands.
