How did this happen? I feel that spring has barely started, and yet Memorial Day and SUMMER are right around the corner! Celebrate this long, lazy weekend by sitting back and letting your kids whip up a tasty bite for the whole family.
Little ones may need some help with cutting up the strawberries, but assembly is easy enough for kids of all ages. Making these festive, patriotic snacks is only half the fun, though. They are also fresh, summery and delicious. We eat them for breakfast (they can be assembled the day before), but they also make a great snack. Enjoy!
Red white and blue parfaits make a delicious warm-weather breakfast on the back porch.
