Kimberly Button says
Mariane, Is your niece allergic to sunflower seeds? There are some nut butter alternatives made with sunflower seeds. Be sure to read all the ingredients, though.

I LOVE the banana sushi idea! I am going to try giving them to my two whirlwinds that call themselves toddlers tonight. 🙂
Kimberly Button says
Good luck 😉
Mikki says
Those all look so good. And totally not just for kids.. ha ha.
Kimberly Button says
That’s what I was thinking, too!
Evie says
I tried the peanut butter recipe and it is not kid friendly at all. It is very messy because when the kids try to put the peanut butter on, it doesn’t go on so easily and sticks to the hands more than the banana.
Kimberly Button says
Peanut butter can definitely be a challenging ingredient. Especially when applying it to any surface that’s not completely dry. It does help to pat down fruit with a paper towel to absorb any moisture, but peanut butter is always going to stick to hands (and the roof of your mouth!).
