Easy meals for kids

Children are at a time when their bodies are developing comprehensively, so properly cultivating their hands-on abilities can not only increase their interest in doing things but also improve their appetite. There are many ways to cultivate children's hands-on ability. The most effective way is to let children learn to cook simple food by themselves. This can not only improve their hands-on ability but also improve their picky eating habits. Below are some simple things suitable for children to make by themselves. Let’s learn together.

1. Baby stroller fruit salad

Main ingredients: 1 small watermelon, 1 dragon fruit, 1 pear, 1 star fruit. Auxiliary ingredients: kumquats, small oranges, strawberries.

Steps: Prepare the ingredients; cut the watermelon horizontally into one-third, and then cut it vertically again. Use a melon baller or spoon to scoop out all the watermelon. Slice the pitaya and use a mold to press out Winnie the Pooh. Cut the carambola into slices. Also cut the kumquats into slices. Peel and slice the pear, then press out Tigger. Peel the oranges and put them together with the watermelon rind to make a baby carriage. Cut off part of the rind and cut a strip to make a handle for the baby carriage. Put all the fruits in the baby carriage.

2. Little Red Bean Rice Balls

Main ingredients: 2 cups of rice, 20g of gardenia, a little strawberry jam, some red bean paste, some coriander

Steps: prepare the ingredients; wash the rice and pour it into the pot, add water to the 2 cup mark, throw the gardenia in and soak for a while: select the fragrant rice soft program. After the rice is steamed, take out the gardenia and discard it, then mix the rice well. It takes a lot of arm strength to pound the rice into a ball with a rolling pin. I was too tired to do it so I just used a cooking stick. Take a piece of rice cake, place it on plastic wrap, flatten it, and wrap it with red bean paste to seal it. Insert the bento fork eyes, put ten corianders on the head, and draw the mouth and face with fruit paste.

3. Corn Bento

Main ingredients: 200g corn, 1 potato, 40g okra, 30g hot pot meatballs, 30g dates, 20g walnut kernels, 1 kiwi, 30g mixed vegetables. Auxiliary ingredients: some oil, some salt, some lettuce.

Steps: Prepare the ingredients. Steam the potatoes in slices. The corn is also steamed. Mash potatoes and set aside. Heat oil in a wok and add mixed vegetables over medium heat and stir-fry for a while. Add mashed potatoes and a little salt, stir well and serve. Pour water into the soup pot and bring it to a boil. Add a little salt and cook the okra and hot pot meatballs. Remove the okra from the water after blanching. Wrap the fried mashed potatoes in plastic wrap and shape them into a corn shape. Put it in the lunch box, put the peeled corn kernels on it, and use some lettuce leaves as leaves. Slice kiwi fruit. Place lettuce and kiwi, walnut kernels, dates, okra, etc. on the side.
