Abbi is only 2 years old, but I have found myself stock-piling ideas for when she starts preschool. I can’t wait until it’s my turn to bring treats – I have seen so many great ideas!! This idea – well, I just loved it so much that I couldn’t wait to make it. Even though I didn’t have anyone to share them with!!
These are a not only a great snack for Easter-time, but for spring in general. Hey – I’d even think it was cute to get one of these in the middle of the summer! And after all the sweets I’ve been consuming lately, it was a welcome change to have something healthy to eat. Definitely one of the cutest treats I’ve ever made!!
Carrot Patches
from Family Fun
hummus
baby carrots
curly parsley
small terra cotta pots
Spoon hummus into small cups that will fit inside the pots.
Shortly before serving, poke a hole in the carrots using a toothpick and insert a small piece of parsley. You’ll want 3 to 4 carrots per pot.
“Plant” the carrots in the pot by putting the carrots in the hummus. As a bonus, you can also send home carrot seeds with the pots so each person can plant their own carrots at home!
Those are soooo cute!
Absolutely adorable, Deborah!! I think I may make these for Andrew’s class tomorrow, actually.
These are so cute! Great idea!

That is the cutest idea! What a fun way to present a healthy snack to kids.
So cute and so healthy! I thought it was candy at first. This would be so fun for kids. I always have a million cute snack ides running through my head and then life takes over and I bring the staples. I want to be the fun snack mom!
These are so adorable and healthy! What could be better!
I’ve never seen healthy food look so cute. If I didn’t see the ingredients list, I would have thought these were little cupcakes!
Super cute and creative 🙂
Ohhhh! So cute! What a fantastic idea! Anything to encourage veggie eating is a plus in my books!
This is a very cute idea! It’s great to expose children to creative ways to do things, and to promote hospitality. Good for you.
