This snack is cool and refreshing for hot days playing out in the sun. They’re much lower in sugar than traditional sour candy but still have that addicting tart + sweet taste your kids will love.

5. Deli Kabobs with Fruit

These skewers are a fun alternative to the classic ham + cheese sandwich and you can use any combination of meats, cheeses, and fruits your children prefer. We like to think of them as a portable, kid-friendly, charcuterie board.
