"Fix it yourself"
Here are some go-to snacks kids can make
By KARA EBERLE for Smart
Moms like it when their kids eat healthy.
But sometimes it's hard to get fruits and veggies in their tummies.
Amy Wolfe, 33, of Manchester Township said she usually gives her children fruit,
hoping it holds them over until dinnertime.
Wolfe and her kids -- Kaden, 8; Lilla, 6; and Rylan, 3 -- tried these after-school snacks thinking they might be a fun and healthy way to tame their hunger pangs without spoiling their dinner.
In the end, the children were drawn to the less healthy parts of the treats: peanut butter, cheese and pretzel sticks.
Lilla was the only one to eat the celery and the peppers.
But they said they had fun making the treats.
And it kept them seated at the table -- and out of Wolfe's hair -- for a little while.
