Notes
Use whatever you have on hand, or think kid-friendly cheese or charcuterie plate.
If doing it for the whole family, have a pair of kitchen scissors on hand to cut up anything that needs to be made smaller for the kids.
Try not to push or comment on what specifically they're eating—this is supposed to be a fun meal!
This sort of snack based meal also works really well to pack in a lunch—or you can pack up the leftovers into
lunch boxes
