I used to have to prepare these kind of snacks for the kids (5-12) at after school care. They used to go mental for just carrot sticks, water crackers, a dip (we used to buy french onion soup powder and mix it with sour cream) and just cubes of tasty cheese. then after that some sliced apples and oranges.

I mean the kids loved it, no idea why. We used to give them like honey, jam, vegemite or cream cheese sandwhiches.. then next day strawberry or vanilla flavoured yoghurts and sliced fresh fruit.. but they LOVED the cheese, dip, carrot sticks then sliced fruit.

my kids go nuts over yogert
they love it when i just put some of whatever fruit i have on hand in the bender with plain yogert. they are always asking me to make them those smoothys like that. you can also take that mix and poor it into popcicle molds and freeze to make smothy pops
cheese cubes with grapes, apples and yogert dip is a hit too
we have mac n cheese sometimes but not craft stuff
of hard is it to cook some macaroni and then melt some cheese with a little butter and milk in with it

what is with kraft and KR!?!?!?

also, there are a billion great cookbooks on this topic.
i use this one frequently:
Amazon.com: Toddler Café: Fast, Healthy, and Fun Ways to Feed Even the Pickiest Eater: Jennifer Carden, Matthew Carden: Books
