Preschool snack - the letter "D"

[Anonymous]

There are lots of healthy and cute ideas out there for snacks for preschoolers, but somehow without thinking about it I agreed to come up with one that relates to the letter "D" (that week's class theme). Any ideas? So far I've come up with:

"Dirt Cups" (chocolate pudding, oreo crumbs and gummy worms in a cup) -- but there's no way to call that "healthy"
Sandwiches (pb&j or cream cheese & jelly) cut into the letter D with a cookie cutter
Donut holes -- but again, the healthy police will likely hunt me down and shoot me for that one

Is there something obvious I just haven't thought of?

Dips? You could do hummus and baby carrots.

Or deviled eggs?

Or maybe you could "dice" something?

Or "dried" fruit?

Deviled eggs? ...not sure if kids like them

What about dairy, can you do cheese sticks or yogurt?

I probably would do donut holes if the teacher was ok with that, but the plain ones without powdered sugar or cinnamon -- 1 donut hole per kid isn't all that bad and that is a lot less work than your other suggestions.

Also you could get a dinosaur-shaped cookie cutter and use that for sandwiches, cookies, etc.
