School or kindergarten birthday treats don't need to be complicated at all. Before you start, just ask yourself the question if your idea is easy to make and healthy. Is the answer yes? Hooray! You won't run out of time and the children can help too, instead of you doing all the work. With a good choice you contribute to the kids health while at the same time adhere to the school policy of making healthy treats.
We made some coconut rice crackers in the shape of a heart. You need some (extra thick) rice crackers, gluten and sugar free coconut slices (kokosbrood in Dutch), a cookie cutter and optional some plant based butter, to prepare this healthy school treat. As decoration I used a skewer, a slice of paper, double-sided tape, a stamp and ink pad.
This treat is gluten, nuts and lactose free, so you don't have to worry about food intolerances.
Choose a cookie cutter of your liking and cut out the shape of a rice cracker and coconut slice. Place the coconut shape on top of the rice cracker. Optional you can smear some plant based butter in between. Don't forget to save the leftovers! You can make some rice crispy bars of it later on :-)
To decorate your treat you can cut out little flags of paper. Your child can personalize them with stamps, a fingerprint or a drawing. Stick them with some double-sided tape onto the skewers and your treat is ready!
