I like to make ice lollies out of squash and water - very easy to make and yummy!

sliced strawberries is his favourite but Friday is treat night and then he is allowed a little bag of sweets!

The healthier snacks we have often include dried fruit packets but we also like to make vegetable animals!

They always like fruit especially oranges and grapes and toast with a cup of tea.

I bake oaty flapjack bars and cram in as much good stuff as I can like dried fruit, oats and nuts. They love to help make them and for an extra special treat I sometimes half dip them in some chocolate.

my youngest always asks for an apple , cut up and peeled. she always has this with a glass of milk to keep her going until tea time

they usually have some fruit before we cook their tea, then they can have a treat after that

time, they get to choose what to do, baking, park, etc. just 121 time with no distractionns

My 1 year old grandaughter will eat anything, she just loves food. My 5 year old grandson however is very fussy, he always wants 'Grandmas cheesy pasta' followed by fruit and yoghurt. He does love Soreen though and has that for breakfast and snacks, but he calls it 'Doreen' as me and his grandad always chant 'where's the Soreen Doreen?'

I treat my granddaughter to fruit skewers and a glass of milk it's her favourite snack or mini boxes of raisins

Make a big fuss and give them quality time

When I was small my Nan used to meet me out of school and on nice days would take me through the next door park and we d have a little picnic just a sandwich and a few biscuits while we sat in a little concrete shetter that we nickname The Wendy House the sun would pour in I grew up left home moved around and ended up living in a few different areas in the world When I got older and divorced I came back to my home town Then I started getting grandchildren by the time I retired I had seven grandkids but they all lived overseas in various parts of the world Very very sadly two grandchildren s Daddy died and their mum my eldest came back to her hometown The two started school at my old school The lovely park was still there but not the pretty Wendy House however on sunny days when I met them out of school I would take them to the park and buy them an ice cream. Life is truely a circle ...
Now they are teenagers and I don't see so much of them won't it be wonderful if I live to see great grandkids that I can walk round the park on a sunny day x

I love to make banana muffins with my grandson we have fun making them and he gets healthy snack

With a little cake and a glass of pure orange juice

We all love Soreen. Really. some of us have butter & others don't. They come home hungry from school & have some tea, then go on their Scooters for a trip to the Playground.

We sometimes stop at a local café for a hot chocolate or a pastry.

In our house it's cheese and fruit. My grandchildren are not big sweet eaters and neither am I so I don't often have anything sweet in the house. Although I am quite partial to a malt loaf. I don't buy it very often as I'm the only one who eats it.

A treat from the shop on the way home from school, don't tell mum!

Although I am a member of Gransnet, by grandchildren are not yet born, so I read the forums out of interest only.

A weak cup of Earl Grey and a crumpet with a scrape of butter.

I treat them by giving of my time and attention and not plonking them in front of the TV

We love baking cookies or crafting after school.

My grandaughter loves fruit so i usually have made up some boxes of fruitmix which she has when she comes round. I make these up with a variety of fruit and keep in the fridge

we make cornflake, dried banana and raisin buns in the winter, they love the mixing and putting mixture into muffin holders with a lolly stick in the middle (no choccy fingers) and in summer we make fromage frais and fruit lollys, keeps them busy making, and my daughter is impressed when I can get fruit down them, love our granny time together after school.

Now in Summer the wonderful treat is homemade ice cream, any flavour I or they can invent as long as it does not have chemicals.
The most "requested" is avocado, even though it is a more "adult" it is imperative to to make it.
