Mini Pizza

Making your own dough can be daunting, but grab a couple bagels, slice them up, and let your kids add their own toppings. If you want to get really creative, then let your kids make their own designs on top! Who knew eating pizza could be even more fun?

It’s edible artwork! When used as a hearty snack, the pizzas are both an activity and something to eat. What a winning idea for after school! When making these pizzas with younger children, it’s a good idea to have the toppings cut and sliced in a variety of ways ahead of time. Then there’s no risk of kids using sharp knives. And there will be less mess and wasted food.
