- Place cottage cheese and fruit into a bowl and serve.
Hard-Cooked Eggs and Crackers

Sandwich Cubes
- Cut up sandwich with a pair of kitchen scissors. (I like to do this with something simple like peanut butter and jelly.)
Cheese and Cracker Stacker
- Offer the cheese, crackers, and cucumber and show the kids how to group them into little stacks.
Graham Crackers with Berries
- Spread the nut butter or seed butter onto the graham crackers. Top with the berries.
Fruit Sticks
- Place the fruit onto paper lollipop sticks and serve.

Notes
Store any perishable leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Add mustard, guacamole or other dip to the cracker stackers or eggs and crackers to add flavor.
Let the kids assemble their own fruit sticks and graham crackers with fruit.
Increase or decrease portions in line with the individual level of hunger.
