There are lots of versions of these cool pastry and sausage mummies around but we really like this one from Yummy Healthy Easy.

Kids can have fun making their own chosen face with only a normal dinner knife in this clever breakfast from Cute Food For Kids. You can adapt it with different fillings to suit.

Love these simple fruity ideas which even very young children can help with, from Weelicious. There are some easy peelers starting to come into season now, and bananas are available all year around.

This snack is a classic, use any nut butter or jam or spread that you like. This version is from Campfire Marshmallows

This is a really brilliant project which is definitely suitable for little fingers from SheSaved.

Children with a little practice at knife skills will be able to carve these faces into sweet potato (if adults make the slices) and they look really cool. From Simply Jillicious

Involve the kids as much or as little as you like in the making of the pasta, sauce and meatballs, but they can definitely put the cheese and olives on top of the "eyeballs". Great fun main meal idea from Delish

This is not advertised as a recipe that children can make, but they definitely can if you do some alongside them to copy. They could use a toothpick rather than a knife to scrape the lines out, as they are less likely to cut all the way through. A brilliant and genuinely spooky recipe from Salty Canary

There are lots of different "peppers as lanterns" ideas out there but I like this one with spaghetti falling out of the holes because it looks really gross and kids love gross! If a grown pokes the starter holes in each location, children with decent scissor skills can cut the holes with small kitchen scissors. They can pull the seeds and pith out with their fingers too as their hands are small. They will enjoy piling the spaghetti in and pulling a few bits through the holes. Can either be eaten with the peppers still crunchy, or popped in the oven for ten minutes to cook a bit - don't leave too long or they tend to collapse. Great recipe here from Healthful Pursuit
