We're getting together with family this weekend. I especially enjoy seeing my kids running around and playing with their cousins. But they'll need to be fed. So if you, like me, are looking for easy, fast, and fun no-cook kids snacks for Spring, these fun treats are great for Easter Sunday, a birthday party, or any family reunion.

No-Cook Kids Snacks for Spring

Happy Yogurt Chicks

What you need:

Clean glass jars, like baby food jars
Paint pens: black and orange
Your favorite yogurt: for a classic look I suggest vanilla, banana, or piña colada flavor, for an Easter look I suggest strawberry, blueberry, or orange cream flavor.
Shredded coconut

How to make it:

Paint chick faces on the jars with the paint pens. Let dry. Fill them out with the yogurt and top them with the coconut. Fast and easy.

Banana Bunny Pops

What you need:

4 bananas
8 Ice-pop sticks
Wax paper
Cupcake liners
6 oz candy melts
Jumbo sprinkles
Flower foam

How to make it:

Cut a banana into 2-inch pieces, insert an ice-pop stick into each piece and repeat until you finish. Place them on a wax paper covered sheet and freeze for 5 minutes.

For each pop, cut two 1-inch long skinny ovals from the ribs of a cupcake liner; crease the middle to make the ears. Set aside.

Pour candy melts into a bowl and microwave following the instructions in the package until smooth.

Remove pops from the freezer, take one banana, dip it in the candy, let excess drip and add jumbo sprinkles for the eyes and nose. Slide the ears behind the head and chill in the fridge until ready to serve. To present upright, press each sticks into a piece of fabric-covered flower foam (make holes first).

Veggie Flowers

What you need:

Mini sweet peppers
String beans
Favorite dip

For daisies, cut the mini sweet pepper into 1/2-inch wide rings. With a knife make a small hole in the “flower” and insert a string bean.

For tulips, cut the tops off mini sweet peppers, make a small hole in the bottom of the “flower” and insert the string bean.

Serve with your favorite dip.
