"On-the-go" food recipes for kids that don't require any type of cooking?!


Question: "On-the-go" food recipes for kids that don't require any type of cooking!?
I'm having to come up with a cooking activity for a daycamp that I work at for kids ages 4-12, who also have disabilities!. The theme for next week is "Transportation" so I'm thinking that I'd like to have a simple no-cook recipe (as we don't have a stove or oven) that relates to the theme, or very close to it!.!.!.such as being "on the go!." Making a trail mix is out as we already did that last week!.

Any ideas!?!?!?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
This one is from Rachael Ray's cookbook for kids!.!.!.

Celery Boats with Carrot Sails
4 servings

4 stalks celery
2 slices cheese - cheddar, pepper jack, American
1/2c whipped cream cheese or soft herb cheese, like Alouette
Sweet paprika
1 large carrot, peeled

Trim a long thing strip off the round side of the celery so it sits flat!.

Cut the deli cheese into 1 inch stips and line the celery with the cheese!.

Fill the celery with the whipped cream cheese or herb cheese, spreading it over the sliced cheese!.

Sprinkle filled celery with paprika!. These are your "boats"!.

Thinly slice the carrot diagonally into ovals!. Cut each oval in half on a diagonal and you get two triangle "sails" with rounded edges!.

Set the sails into each boat by pushing the rounded edge into the cheese to make the sails stand up!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

My mom used to make "wheels"!. Cut the crusts off white or wheat bread, whip peanut butter and honey together!. You use a jar or rolling pin to flatten the bread and smear some peanut butter/honey mix on it!. Then sprinkle on raisins, roll them up, and slice them into wheels!. Its silly, but we used to love that meal!Www@FoodAQ@Com

What about have them build "race cars" or trains or even planes, from veggies!. cucumbers bodies for the cars and then they can toothpick on wheels (carrot slices or radishes) let your produce department rule your selections!. And then they can eat the cars and be healthy in the process!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Hmm!.!.!.not sure if this relates, but I remember making "mud" when I was a little kid!. You get brown jello pudding (could make ahead of time!?), and mix it with crushed up oreos and gummy worms!.!.!.and it looks just like dirt! it was the coolest thing ever back in the day!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
