What makes a great charcuterie board

A good charcuterie board is PACKED with different flavors, textures, and colors and is overflowing with snack foods. The same is true for charcuterie boards for kids!

This festive holiday grazing board is packed with lots of kid-friendly snacks, and I will give you ideas for more snack tray ideas for kids, whether you're putting together a snack tray for the holidays, or a fun charcuterie lunch for the kids.

It doesn't matter whether you use a cute wooden board to put this together, or simply a large plate, kids will love this either way!

And since this blog is all about overcoming picky eating, I can't forget to mention that serving food in a fun, no-pressure way, such as a fun snacking tray, is a GREAT way for picky eaters to be exposed to new foods and see that it's okay to have those foods on the same plate as their favorite foods.

Holiday charcuterie board for kids

This board has a combination of healthy snacks and indulgent treats - the perfect balance for the holidays!

On this board we have:

Strawberries, halved
Cherry tomatoes
Celery stalks, cut in thirds
Baby carrots, sliced in half lengthwise
Dark Chocolate Dessert Hummus (such as Sabra)
Red, Green, and White sprinkles
Sliced turkey pepperoni
Sliced deli turkey
Sliced deli ham
Mild salsa
Holiday Tortilla Chips (I used El Sabroso Holiday Tortilla Chips)
Clubhouse crackers
Pretzel slims
Little Debbie Christmas Tree Brownies
Colby jack cheese snack bars

To put this together:

Spoon the salsa and the chocolate hummus into small bowls. Place on the left and right side of the board. Unwrap the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Brownies from clear wrapper, and place in the middle, left, and right on the board. Roll up turkey and ham, and place above the middle brownie.
Place the snack cheese slices to the right of the middle brownie, and place the pepperoni to the left of the middle brownie, making sure to overlap the pepperoni slices. Place club crackers to the left of the deli meat slices, and celery to the right. Begin filling in the side of the bowl of salsa with the holiday tortilla chips, and carrots. Fill in the side of the bowl of chocolate hummus with strawberries and pretzel slims. Lastly, place cherry tomatoes randomly all over board for little pops of color. Enjoy!

To put together an epic charcuterie board for kids, just pick a few items from every category and start piling them up on a board, tray, or platter!

Make sure to double check whether any young babies or toddlers are going to have access to this tray, and if yes, please cut the pieces small enough to make it safe for them, or only use baby-safe foods for this appetizer tray. And of course, find out about any food allergies your guests might have!
