this isn't much cooking but i'm pretty sure kids love jellies! i do it with my nieces at home :)

half a cup of chopped strawberries
gelatin powder, strawberry flavour


we just follow the instructions on the gelatin packet, and when the powder is completely melted, stir in the chopped strawberries and put them in molds. :)

we try it with different fruits and flavours... sometimes we get flavourless gelatin and use boiled fruit juice instead of water, that gives it a more natural flavour ^_^

My kids will surely love this. I tried doing chopped different colored gelatins, fresh fruits (mango)and fresh milk. Place it inside the freezer for a couple of hours. This will be like a cathedral jelly. Kids will like it too.

Sounds yum! I'll try it with my group of children next week using flavoured jelly, fruits and frogs and raspberries lollies.

Here is another recipe that may serve the purpose. It is called Biscuit cake. It is easy to make. Have ample nutrients and can keep the children of the centre engaged in a creative way.
Ingredients:
Marie Biscuit (Any biscuit)

5 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 tbsp butter
Dry fruits

Method:

Crush the Marie biscuits in a mixer and add the contents into a bowl
Add milk, sugar, and butter
Whisk all the contents properly
Pour the whisked mixture into a baking tray
Garnish it with almonds and nuts
Place the tray in the freezer for 25 minutes
Transfer the contents to the refrigerator section and let them cool.

After taking it out you can enjoy it with your children.
The recipe is child-centric and safe for children.

Thanks
Nandita
