My daughters have been really into playing with their toy cars and trains which means we have been talking a lot about transportation and driving lately (I have two cute little back seat drivers). My five year old gave me the idea to create a healthy snack that looked like a stoplight. The girls loved helping make these snacks and gobbled them up at lightning speed. You could easily turn it into lunch by putting it on bread instead of a cracker. Using gluten-free bread would be a good way to make it a completely gluten-free snack. Also you could substitute different fruits or dried fruits.
Stoplight Snacks Ingredients: Graham Crackers Nut or Seed Butter Cream Cheese Strawberries Clementines or Banana Kiwi Using a butter knife or spoon spread the graham crackers with nut or seed butter and/ or cream cheese (kid's love to spread). Slice the fruit into round slices. Add the fruit to make a stoplight. My daughter made one with all kiwi, according to her "so you never have to stop". These pack great in a lunchbox too!
