Have you ever brought your kids to a cookout, and they complain because there is nothing they like to eat? Or perhaps your child goes wild and wants to consume everything they see. Fun and joyful gatherings can still be a stressor for some families.
If hosting a cookout, you can make it all kid friendly. For starters:
- Use bowls and platters in a variety of shapes and sizes.
- Make sure you have a colorful variety of foods.
- Add character food picks in the food itself.
- Put some snacks in colorful muffin holders or grab and go containers for easy snacking.
- Offer fun sprinkles and toppings.
