Win your children over by offering small portions!!

Invest in some cheap plastic containers with lids (cheap because some are bound to be lost!) and some small plastic screw top tubs. Use mini muffin pans for sweet muffins so they can enjoy a sweet treat more often. Make jelly and yoghurt, put them in screw top containers with a throwaway plastic spoon. Make a home-made dip n' dunk with little pieces of bread or crackers and something to dip into - hommus and carrot sticks, fruit slices and yoghurt. Stock up on healthy nibbly things to put in the lunch boxes - dried fruits, nuts, bean sprouts, grapes, strawberries, cubes of cheese, snow peas, sunflower seeds and so on. Remember that dried fruit counts in their 5+ a day. Help the kids to grow cherry tomatoes, beans or peas in a sunny spot, they'll be more willing to eat what they have grown themselves.
