Did your toddler have fun making the Christmas craft ideas we had suggested in our
previous blog? We hope you are all set to celebrate Christmas. Well, we are back with more
suggestions to engage your preschooler. But this time we have included a couple of snack
ideas which you can try with your toddler.
Without any further delay, let’s get into it!
1. Strawberry Santa
This is going to be an exciting experience for your child. The process is easy and quick. You
will need
● Strawberries
● Chocolate chips
● Whipped cream
● Child friendly knife
You may ask your child to cut the strawberries using a child friendly knife. Make it into a
sandwich with whipped cream. Add chocolate chips as eyes and finish it off with some
whipped cream on top of Santa’s hat. An easy and healthy snack that can be made by your
child for this Christmas!
2. Christmas tree chocolate cake
Christmas is not complete without some cakes! We are sure you are already planning on
baking some delicious plum cakes this festive season. If you are baking, you may try this
Christmas tree idea. You may involve your toddler in baking, getting their help in measuring,
mixing, and decorating the cake. You will need:
● Cake- baked or got readymade
● Gems chocolate
● Whipped cream (colored if possible)
● Sprinkles
● Popsicle stick
● Icing sugar
Cut the cake into slices. Your child can decorate it like a christmas tree with gems,
sprinkles, whipped cream, and icing sugar. Fix it on a popsicle stick and let them
savor it!
3. Snowman Cookie
How can we forget snowmen, reindeer and elves during Christmas?! This is a fun activity
which you can do with your preschooler. You will need:
● Cookies- baked or got readymade
● Sugar cookie icing
● Chocolate chips
● Chocolate bars for snowman hat
● Stick sprinkles for nose
Your child can decorate the cookie with sugar cookie icing and make the face and
melted body of the snowman. Add two chocolate chips for eyes and sprinkle for the
nose. A piece of chocolate can be kept as a hat, and you have a snowman cookie!
4. Fruit Candy Cane
Let’s use the seasonal fruits to make candy canes. This is a healthy snack which can be
made in five minutes! You will need:
● Banana
● Strawberries
● Child friendly knife
Your toddler can cut the banana and strawberries into slices. They can arrange them
alternatively to form a candy cane. This would help them understand the concept of
patterns too!
We hope you enjoy making these Christmas snacks with your preschooler! Children look
forward to new experiences, and as their caregivers we should make sure we are giving them
ample opportunities to profound and memorable experiences. Let’s make this Christmas
extra special for them!
