Let me let you in on a secret – I’ve found that serving a kid-friendly charcuterie board is a perfect way to get your children to eat healthy snacks!
It’s also a wonderful treat to have available during playdates and parties with hungry kiddos.
What I really love about this particular kids’ grazing board is that it’s filled with an assortment of organic, healthy products with simple ingredients from Tom Thumb. All of these products are available in my area exclusively at Tom Thumb. This is a sponsored post on behalf of Tom Thumb. All opinions are my own.

How to make a kid charcuterie board
Once you have your food items gathered, pull out your charcuterie board, and let the fun begin. There is no right or wrong way to make a snack tray for kids. I promise you they will be amazed no matter what. Every time I bring one out for my kids they marvel at the variety of snacks at their fingertips.
I always start my boards with the smaller containers filled items and fill out the board throughout. I love having some of the food items hanging off on the corners. Also, if I find an empty spot on the board, I simply fit it with a fruit item.
Make sure the variety of tastes and colors are spread out to your liking. I filled the jar with the almond butter near the fruit for easy access to dipping. Consider having Open Nature® compostable plates handy so the kids can pick what they want and enjoy nearby.
Making this clever snack tray is easy and super fun to make. I also feel good knowing I am serving quality snacks that have great value!
