These carrots are always a winner with children, nice and simple and lots of kids love carrots. But there are so many options with veg, make sure you offer a range of vegetables to go with meals. Some kids may even want some sprouts, so consider if you can duplicate the adult sides and provide them for kids as well, especially for those older kids that may want something slightly fancier than a simple side of peas.

53% of kids also said that they would like their veg in a bowl on the side.* Consider how you’ve written your festive menus, could you offer a choice of sides rather than a set side dish?

 

4. Cooldelight chocolate coated Christmas tree ice cream
