With my resolution to create new memories in the new year, getting into the kitchen with N has been a priority. I’ve found it is so hard for her to wait for things to bake and cool. These snack mix recipes for kids are the perfect, no bake solution and a fun way to get into the kitchen together.
Not only are these easy recipes simple enough for N to make on her own, but they are in a format, targeted specifically for beginning readers so that she can follow the recipe and develop beginning reading skills at the same time. It is a great way to integrate math and reading in the kitchen.
These snack mixes are a great thing for birthday parties. They are a great addition to a long hike. The best part is they are so much fun to make!

How cool is this? I can't wait to make these with my kids. I needed some summer snacks to take along with us on our park days and these are perfect.
