It is very important to make healthy food tasty for kids to ensure that they stay off the junk and develop healthy eating habits. With busy schedules for both kids and their mums, this can get a little difficult, but baking is a good option at such times. Of the various ways of cooking, baking retains the nutrients and needs less oil than any other form to make healthy snacks for kids.

Here are some snacks that they are sure to love:
