Exactly five years ago, my oldest son Tygo started primary school. Quite a transition for a boy who previously spent his time at home, with grandparents and at the nursery. Fortunately, the male got used to it very quickly and so did I. However, there was one thing I couldn't get used to and that was the amount of sweets at school. Do you also get bogged down in sweets for lack of inspiration? Then try this Angry Birds treat!

Already in his first week of school, the apple of my eye was spoiled with ice cream, chips and several treats. Since Tygo is not such a candy ass, he took the goodies home. Where possible of course, luckily I have never found a remnant of an ice cream in his school bag, but that aside. When I carefully asked teachers and other parents what they thought of the amount of extras, I always got the answer that there was something to celebrate and after all, a party includes candy…
Don't get me wrong:there's nothing wrong with a candy or other treat every now and then. However, four times in one week during school time I thought it was way too much. And besides, we don't want to teach our descendants that partying is synonymous with unhealthy going crazy? My hands were itching to get started and a year ago I decided to use my frustration to make something beautiful. And one of the components of that beauty is the Angry Birds treat.
In the five years that I have been a mother of a school-age child, I have tried to make their healthy treats fun and delicious too. Fortunately, my sons have also regularly told me that their delicacy was positively received in the classroom and I have even received compliments from teachers.
I have bundled the nicest, healthy and tasty treats that I have seen over the years in an ebook containing 25 treats made from fruit.
In my opinion, the best treat consists mainly of vegetables and fruit. If that is not possible, I would opt for a snack without added sugars. Moreover, I think it is important that (almost) all children in the class can eat it, even those with a certain religion or allergy. In addition, I prefer to prepare a treat the night before, so that there is no extra activity waiting for me during the already busy morning rush with three children.
This Angry Birds treat of mini babybel cheeses meets almost all requirements in my opinion. In addition, they can be kept outside the refrigerator. Ideal!
A gluten-free and sugar-free treat. Suitable for Muslim children. Supplies are for ten Angry Birds treats.
Cut the black ribbon into pieces of about 1 cm for the eyebrows. Cut out diamond shapes from the yellow paper and ovals from the cream. Take a mini Babybel cheese and put the red “tab” up for the Tintin. Use the glue to secure the eyes, chest, eyebrows and beak.
Have fun with the treat!
