Ants on a log is a super common snack for kids to expose them to the taste and texture of celery. But what about the children that struggle with the intense crunch or the “celery strings”? Exposing kids to celery in a smoothie is a great start, you can gradually move up in exposure with cooked celery in stir fries and eventually raw celery on veggie plates.

We love getting crafty in the kitchen and these celery bugs are just as fun to make as they are to eat! The great thing about celery is it can go both sweet or savory. Venture out from the typical peanut butter and fill it with cream cheese or Greek yogurt ranch. Let your kids make their bugs and you might just be surprised by their creativity. From snakes to snails, ladybugs to butterflies, the possibilities are endless!

Celery is the perfect vessel to make some fun food art! Food art is a great way to give kids exposure to new foods without the pressure. They can touch and explore veggies and even make them into a little masterpiece!

Turning crunchy, fresh celery into a warm and creamy soup allows kids to experience celery in a whole new way! Cut the potato and celery into sticks and have your little chef chop the veggies into chunks and carefully add them to the pot. When chopping, don't forget to include the leaves attached to the celery; they add so much celery flavor to the dish. While the soup is simmering, taste-test some raw celery with a dip or make little ants-on-a-log bites with celery, nut butter, and dried cranberries or raisins.
