Kid Friendly ideas using Florida Blueberries

Many children are on spring break or have their break coming up in the next couple of weeks. Blueberries are such an important food, we thought it would be helpful to share kid-friendly ideas for spring vacation.  Our Pinterest Board called Blueberries For Kids, where we feature fun recipes to help engage your children in healthy eating.  Picture a banana boat floating along on blueberry water, or testing your alphabet using delicious waffles.  Refresh their favorite drink with homemade blueberry icecubes. Take it out of the kitchen and create an artistic masterpiece using blueberries for paint.

Blueberries make a great reward when playing trivia.  The U.S. Blueberry Council has created a fun-packed activity center featuring activity sheets, games, and snack ideas. Through fun engagement kids can learn about healthy eating and grow an appreciation for blueberries and other healhty foods. Visit the activity center here.
