- YOUR GUIDE TO SOME OF DUBAI’S TOP SUMMER CAMPS
JUNE 2012
You’ve asked and we looked for
answers!
Over the past few months, mums have come to us asking what
summer camps we recommend. With plenty of choices around the
Emirates, we decided to pursue with this Summer Camp Guide to give
mothers a compact, easily accessible and reliable reference.
With the help of owners, directors and managers of
various summer camp venues, we are offering you
tips, suggestions and advice in picking the camp
that will best fit your child’s qualities and meet your
expectations as parents. Experts come onboard as
well to render important health reminders to
make the summer enjoyable whilst ensuring
that your child is in tiptop shape. Please
note however, that the nurseries are not
in any sort of order--there is no rating
scheme.
We sure hope that this guide will
take out a load off your shoulders as
we know that you’ve got more than
enough to look after as mums. So with
that... Happy summer camp hunting,
Mummies!
Sincerely,
Your Team from Mother, Baby & Child Magazine

By Zahra Hamirani, Founder of The
Blossom Nursery
TIP: Ask about safety procedures and protocol. Summer camps
must have staff who had undoergone paediatric first aid
training, a qualified nurse present, CCTV and ensured awareness
of emergency exits and process. At Blossom, our mission is to
provide a secure and stimulating environment where each child will ‘blossom’ and this continues with
our summer programs.
In designing Blossom there were a
number of factors we looked at - that each
classroom had multiple exit points and
a prepared fire exit plan was key. This
fire plan is designed for each classroom
and is laminated and on display near
the entrance of the room. This coupled
with the evacuation totals which are
maintained throughout the day to ensure
that we have accurate head counts for
children in our care. The main exit route
noted for each class is followed in our
numerous fire drills and we are taught
NEVER to disregard the alarm - even if
it is a simple drill. A secondary route is
always noted for all and exits are neither
locked nor made inaccessible. Even our
external gates are designed so they can
be opened by children and the compound
has more than one exit door. All cooking/
heating is done in a separate building
with no shared or common walls. Even a
simple microwave, coffee maker or other
heating element is not in the teaching
buildings.
Fire safety starts with key equipment
working; at each Blossom nursery we have
a professionally installed and maintained
Fire Protection System that is inspected
by a Civil Defence approved external fire
protection unit at least 4 times annually.
Our last inspections were completed
in April 2012 and all equipment was
checked, noted and in good order. Our
over 20 smoke detectors/heat detectors
work at each centre and we have a direct
24/7 line to the Civil Defence if they or
the fire alarms go off. Both nurseries are
monitored by the Civil Defence via a GPS
24/7 system. We have had Civil Defence
come in and speak to staff members in
the past and have worked on Fire Safety
as a key topic in our training program
Better safe than sorry!

which has recently
launched. Of special
importance are those
rooms on the second
floor. How do we
escape if our staircase
is blocked? This is a
very important issue
and very close to my own heart
(I was in the 911 tragedy in NYC and
subsequently was the fire warden for the
55th floor of the tallest building on Wall
Street). After this tragedy I learned a lot
about risk assessment and that is why
Blossom has CCTV coverage with backups
maintained off site, external area floors
are spongy 50 mm tiles, windows are
lined shatterproof and most importantly
exits are neither locked nor blocked. In
the event the staircases at Blossom are
deemed non accessible we have back up
roof access, a fire staircase attached to
the building and if needed our shading
has been mounted and secured using
very high tensile materials especially to
ensure safe access out. When designing,
the shading panels were made tough
enough and secured with high tensile
materials to not only consider extreme
wind conditions but to also take human
weight (up to 300 pounds) and are hung
just below the second floor windows as
opposed to above it. While this is not
an ideal exit and we do not practice this,
staff is aware to follow CALM procedures
and where windows can be released
critical and deadly smoke will be able
to escape. Smoke often kills before fire
and as smoke rises we needed to ensure
all rooms have windows/balconies that
are not sealed/locked shut. Another
question I was asked was why are there
no foldable ladders from second floor, the
main reason is that any ladder would go
straight down right to the main entrance
area which is obviously our ideal exit
and thus the “fire” would be blocking
this space should we choose to exit from
the second floor. Shading would allow
distance from the burning building. We
have multiple exit points throughout the
nursery which lead to open air and this is
crucial (and seems to be the key issue in
the Doha tragedy).
Another key focus is to ensure that a
majority of adults on site are trained.
There is no point in only having one
person trained or only the management. It
is a joint responsibility for care and that is
why Blossom pays and arranges for all of
its staff to get Paediatric First Aid Training
(over fifty staff hold current certification)
and we are working on ensuring further
formal safety training to be implemented.
Practices of fire drills has happened at
both centres in the past month for all
classes and are often done by surprise
so that we can evacuate even when it is
inconvenient to do so. Emergencies can
happen anytime and the best outcome
in this is to ensure preparedness. We
try to do this with a variety of measures
including making “fire stations” around
the nursery with directions on who to call
and how to use a fire extinguisher - check
them out in your centre!

School is out but we can’t just skip those
days that we parents have to go to work,
can we? Even if you are a home diva, still
vacation can be worrisome – what with all
those idle times your kids spend in front
of the TV! Luckily, children nowadays
are given the opportunity to explore
and make new friends through summer
camps. With a number of fun and equally
dependable venues out there to choose
from, picking the right summer camp
destination for your child may prove to
be a challenge. We sure want to know
how you can choose a summer camp,
so we went to those who know how to
make kids-at-work both interesting and
enjoyable!
1. Offer something newSchool is over, it’s summertime now!
• One important thing
about summer camp
is that kids should be
motivated and excited
to wake up every day
to go and spend good
time and make new friends.
• It’s all in the way of presenting the
program of activities and entertainment
to the kids in a fun and creative way.
• It’s preferable not to put the kids in
the summer camp of their school so kids
won’t associate it with studying. It should
Choosing a summer camp? Easy as 1-2-3!
be in a new place and new environment.
• When choosing a summer camp, try to find
activities that fall under arts, music, sports and
learning skills.
We want our kids to have fun. At the same
time we expect that they will learn new skills
so let the learning be fun and enjoyable by
enrolling them in activity centres that offer this
kind of programmes.
- Nadine Chammas Bekhaazi, Super Dooper
2. Find what suits your familyBefore deciding where to place your children
this summer, here are some tips
on how to find a summer camp
that meets not only the needs
of your child, but also those of
the family:
• Determine what type of
summer camp you will need for your family’s
particular situation. Summer Camps fall into
two major categories: traditional camps
and specialty camps. Are you looking for a
traditional summer camp your child can attend
everyday during your working hours? Would
you prefer they attend a specialty camp where
they learn a skill such as art or tennis? Should
the camp be close to home or are you able to
drive to drop off and pick up, or is there a bus
service?
• Determine a budget. It is important that you
10mot
her,
baby
and
chi
ld su
mm
er c
amps
map and search the perfect camp
determine in advance how much of a budget
you are willing to allocate towards the summer
camp experience for your child.
• Ask for recommendations from friends or
look for feedback or reviews on the web for
the camp you are interested in. If you can find
someone who has been to a particular summer
camp you are interested in, it would be wise
to try and get some feedback as to what their
experience was there so you can make an
informed decision about the camp.
• Make sure the activities are age appropriate.
Your child has been at nursery/school all
year and needs a break from the educational
structure of their routine. It is important
to make sure that the summer camp you
choose is filled with fun activities that open
the child’s mind to new experiences. Art and
craft activities, sports and games, theatrical
activities and role play are all important parts
of summer camp.
• Plan well in advance of the camp to stay
organised and meet deadlines. Summer camps
are gaining popularity in the UAE as more
and more people stay here over the summer.
It is very important to book and pay for your
chosen summer camp well in advance and to
meet the deadlines set down by the organiser.
Don’t forget that there are plenty of people
willing to take your place should you fail to
secure a place for your child.
- Jane Gammage, The Kensington Nursery
3. Do your homework: researchBecause the camp experience will have
significant impact on your child’s life, it’s
important for
parents to learn
to choose a camp
wisely. Regardless
of the age of your
child, it is important
that the ultimate selection of a camp
accommodate all or some of the needs,
interests, goals, and expectations of both
parent and child. The parent must make
an effort to understand what the child
wants and why. A good way to begin is to
sit down as a family and respond to the
following questions:
• What do you and your child want to
gain from the camp experience? Learn
new skills, develop more self-confidence,
improving proficiency in certain areas,
and become more independent?
• What are the special interests that your
child wants to explore?
• Are there any physical, intellectual,
or social limitations which need to be
considered?
• You may have other concerns that you’ll
want to keep in mind as you go through
your selection process. If so, write them
down and review with together with your
family.
Once you gather answers to the above
information you can proceed to the next
points which need to be considered,
including: type of camp, program and
activities, cost, size and location.

Giving children an opportunity to have a ‘downtime’ every now and then makes their structured programme much more enticing to the little ones says Inspire Children’s Nursery Co-Owner and Director Asma Maladwala.
Q: What is the special feature of your summer camp?A: “Our Summer camp has many designated areas for children to experience outdoor, creative & imaginative roles, and crafts: from our outdoor water playground housing splash pool and water activities, dramatic play area where children can experiment with puppet shows and dressing up to our amazing basement facility with soft play gym, climbing apparatus and bike park.”Q: How will the programme aid in a toddler and young child’s skills development?A: “We provide a wide variety of activities through weekly themes that promote gross motor, performing arts, crafts projects and story time. The environment fosters social growth, learning to interact with other children, share and take turns, be respectful and problem solve. It is a place where your child can explore, play and build their confidence through hands on experiences, developing auditory, tactile, visual and manipulating skills.”Q: Help put our mums and dads’ minds at ease... What makes your summer camp THE PLACE TO BE?A: “Our Summer Camp is all about FUN and giving curious little hands the chance to grow, laugh and learn. At Inspire we incorporate a wide variety of activities for all children whilst in a safe, well maintained environment and enthusiastic staff to take care of your little treasures. We have a daily structured program where children participate in many activities; however we are not too over structured and have designated ‘downtime’ (an opportunity for your child to rest and recharge.)
The summer camp features weekly fun themes with games, crafts and social opportunities to meet peers. All the time they are making friendships and memories.
We place high value on friendship and tradition in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Providing children with a community
of caring adults who nurture education that results in self respect and appreciation. Our caring trained role
models help children feel loved, capable and included.”

“The Wonder of learning”By Jan Webber, Area Director,
Kid First Group
These are words that describe the early
learning journey that your child embarks
upon when you choose Willow Children’s
Nursery.
Based on the Early Years Foundation
Stage we impart a Holistic approach,
encompassing the needs of the whole
child through innovative and creative
learning experiences.
Isaac Newton was not born knowing
the laws of motion nor could he have
simply acquired the idea from imitating
others since these were new ideas! In
light of this, the idea that we construct
knowledge is exciting! At Willow
we ensure that the excitement that
surrounds educational approaches is
through direct and exploratory methods
where the children are their own teachers
and our highly trained Practitioners are
the protagonists of that knowledge.
Willow Children’s Nursery offers parents
that peace of mind in the knowledge
that our trained and experienced staff
are fully conversant with the up to date
EYFS and that ongoing professional
development is available for all staff.
We strive to replicate a “Home from
Home” ethos where care and safety
are paramount. Offering a wide variety of
additional activities such as Little Musicians,
Ballet, Swimming lessons, Drumming, Arabic
and Stretch and Grow we enhance our
already busy routine to ensure your children
have an enriching and fun packed day!
During the hot summer month’s lots of fun
can be had at Willow for a full five weeks
of activities and related outings. Willow
Summer camp begins on the 1st July to the
9th August and our theme this year is of
course the 2012 Olympics! Based on the Five
Olympic circles which represent: Africa, Asia,
Australasia, Americas and Europe we will be
traveling the world to find out more about
all of the countries taking part in this year’s
London Olympic Games.
Incorporated in the weekly themes will be
an exciting field trip related to the relevant
countries. To find out more about Summer
at Willow, email us at willownurserydubai@
gmail.com or call Claire on 043465078 for
more information and to register. We accept
children up to 8 years old.

years education that is… “Second to Mum!”

Kids Cottage NurseryBy Jan Webber, Area Director,
Kid First Group
We believe that each child is unique and
when nurtured, encouraged and supported,
can undertake age appropriate challenges
and pursue natural curiosity. Our qualified
and experienced early childhood educators
aim to create a rich and meaningful early
learning experience for your child through
the Reggio Emilia inspired Early Years
Framework, which enables your child to
develop independence, confidence, self-
esteem and a love for learning through
creative play. Children are amazing, resilient
and creative beings. Left to their own
devices, they are likely to not only survive…
but thrive. From both experience and
observations, the best we can offer them is
wonderful materials, a few suggestions, and
time to explore and create.
As a Reggio Emilia inspired nursery, Kids
Cottage is committed to encouraging
the development of the whole child
within a lively, stimulating, and nurturing
environment. Kids Cottage Nursery is
centrally located in Jumeirah on a spacious
12,000 sq. ft. facility. The nursery is easily
accessible from Sheikh Zayed Road leading
to and from Dubai through Al Wasl Road
and Jumeirah Beach Road
Nervous about filling the endless summer
days and feeling lost for fun, educational
activities for your child? Our summer
program runs from 1st July until the 26th
July and caters for both registered and
non-registered children aged from 12
months to 6 years. The Summer Program
follows a rhythm that is similar to our ‘term
time’ with the addition of extra activities
such as a Magic show, a visit from the tiny
petting zoo, out-door water play under
our UVA/VB shading area, lots of arts and
crafts, baking, Monkeynastix and much
more! The 4-week program follows weekly
themes, with ample opportunities for
outdoor play too.
Our summer camp is staffed with the same
high quality teachers who work throughout
the year. All staff are CPR and First Aid
certified.
We’re looking forward to summer fun, so
come along to Kids cottage and join in our
action-packed program.

Ladybird Private NurseryAt Ladybird Private Nursery, Abu Dhabi,
we encourage independent learning.
This means that children have ample
opportunities and time to plan and
develop their play and interest. Within
child-initiated time, children are allowed to
extend and apply their learning. They are
encouraged to explore, take reasonable
risks, make decisions, solve problems and
share their achievements with others.
Child-initiated learning not only provides
opportunities to apply learning from
other curriculum areas, but also helps
children to develop skills, concentration,
perseverance, and the ability to work
collaboratively. This can be applied to
all the learning that takes place at the
nursery, at home and in all aspects of life!
We provide a well organise, stimulating
learning environment to enhance children’s
learning. Our summer program offers
children aged two to five a creative and
enriching environment to enjoy. The

Nadine Chammas Bekhaazi, the Founder & Managing Partner of Super Dooper, shares why their summer camp will train kids on the performing arts
Q: What is the special feature of your summer camp?A: “Our summer camp is based on Show Production.We love to be on Stage and we encourage our kids to be there as well. Every week we work on a theme and musical play. We create the script, the characters;We design the stage, the set up and the costumes; We create our invitation cards and send them out to our friends and parents to come and watch our work at the end of each week. We work closely with our kids to be the ‘stars’ of their own SHOW.”
Q: How will the programme aid in a toddler and young child’s skills development?A: “The activities that we offer at Super Dooper complement each other. We try to teach the kids how to use each activity to complete one project. We teach them how to organise an event, brainstorm a theme, choose the entertainment and produce the
whole thing using our activities. For example: Kids will use the scrapbooking area to sketch an
invitation card or a greeting card and then they will try to bring their imagination
to reality by choosing from our wide variety of accessories and finish it with
their own style and signature. When sending out this invitation, kids will
feel a great satisfaction that the person that will receive it
will appreciate
it. this is one way of developing
the kids’ self-esteem and self confidence. Encouraging the kids to write their own script and creating their own characters bring out the frustration that kids fear and help them become outspoken and awaken their hidden talents. We want our kids to be unique, strong, creative and the most important thing healthy. The program that we offer is unique and customised to meet the needs of the kids living outside their home countries and especially in Dubai.”
Q: Help put our mums and dads’ minds at ease... What makes your summer camp THE PLACE TO BE?A: “As a mother of 2 kids, Laeticia 8 years and Nicolas 6 years, I care a lot that my kids are in a safe and clean place. As a director, stage producer and drama therapist for more than 15 years I know that the activities and the program I designed for Super Dooper in general and the summer camp in particular based on my experiences and the know how that I’ve learned all these years are an answer to every parent’s worry.”

expert tips for the season
Mom, my tooth hurts…By Dr Zeina Armouche, DMD, C.A.G.S., Specialist Pediatric Dentist, Boston
University, USA
How often have you heard this phrase? And how often have you ignored it until
you found yourself rushing to the dentist
because your child couldn’t sleep all
night from his or her toothache?
Contrary to the common belief, and
according to the American Academy
of Pediatric Dentistry, your child’s
first dental visit should be by the
first birthday. The goal of this first
visit is to establish a dental home, in
which the child begins a relationship
with the paediatric dentist, where a
comprehensive exam is performed, and
the parents are counselled regarding
prevention, healthy diet, oral hygiene,
fluoride intake and injury prevention.
Bringing your child to the paediatric
dentist at this early age also helps him
orher have a good experience in what
can be an unfamiliar and scary place.
And if your child’s first visit is because
of dental pain, it might lead to an
unpleasant experience and a bad first
impression with the dentist due to the
emergency treatment that needs to be
done. It might take few visits until your
child gets acquainted and comfortable
with the dental environment and the
“toys” the dentists use, but will eventually
become friends with the “dental team”
and look forward to visiting the office
every three to six months for his or her
check-up.
During the first appointment, a Tell Show
Do approach is used, where we tell your
child what is going to happen, show him
or her the instruments that are being
used and do (which is the comprehensive
exam). If your child comes in at a later
age, x-rays might need to be taken in
order to diagnose cavities or to see
how deep the cavity is. Small cavities
in between the teeth cannot be seen
unless the teeth are x-rayed. Cavities
in baby teeth progress much faster than
adult teeth and what can be a very small
cavity will soon become large enough
to cause pain and discomfort for your
child. Cavities can affect your child’s
overall growth, nutrition, daily activities,
performance at school and overall quality
of life. While baby teeth are replaced at
some point, they are very important for
the time they are in the mouth.
Whenever possible, the ideal approach
to oral health care, including decay
prevention and management, is the early
establishment of a dental home. Help us
prevent decay and promote the quality of
your child’s life.41 m

At The Kensington Nursery, we promote the
principles of a well-balanced diet and healthy
eating habits. We believe that encouraging
healthy food choices in the Early Years will
have a significant impact on a child’s lifelong
relationship with food and give them the best
opportunity to grow into healthy, confident
adults.
As the summer months approach and the
temperatures rise keeping yourself and your
children dehydrated is vitally important.
For younger children a good way to track
hydration is to monitor how much urine is
being passed. Babies under 2 should have 4-8
wet nappies daily, and older children should
be urinating at least 4 times a day.
Avoiding dehydration is best achieved by
ensuring a regular intake of fluids. These fluids
include breast milk and formula with water
being the number one fluid to ensure proper
levels of hydration. Children also enjoy diluted
fresh fruit juices and homemade ice lollies.
As well as drinking throughout the day it
should also be remembered that fresh fruits
and vegetables contain high quantities of
water. It is a good idea to substitute morning
and afternoon snacks with fresh watermelon
slices or carrots and cucumbers. Not only do
they hydrate but they are also lovely and cool
on the palette.
Children are at the greatest risk of dehydration
when they are engaged in outdoor play, beach
or poolside activities or any activity which
involves working up a sweat.
Being thirsty along with a dry mouth and
cracked lips are early signs of dehydration;
other symptoms my include aches in
joints and muscles, and strong colour
and odour in urine as well as dizziness
and fatigue.
Severe dehydration requires immediate
medical attention so if your child has
parched lips, clammy skin, dry sunken
eyes and a quickened pulse seek
immediate medical attention.
At The Kensington Nursery we
promote the principles of a well-
balanced diet and healthy eating
habits. We believe that encouraging
healthy food choices in the Early Years
will have a significant impact on a
child’s lifelong relationship with food
and give them the best opportunity to
grow into healthy, confident adults.
We have a weekly menu plan that is
packed with plenty of chicken, fish
and vegetables; all of which are freshly
prepared and cooked on the premises.
We provide children with a selection of
fresh fruits and vegetables throughout
the day during the hot summer
months, particularly during Summer
Camp. All of the children have constant
access to their own water bottle; these
are refilled regularly during the day.

Importance of healthy eatingBy Krystyna Maciejewski, Early Childhood
Development Asst. Manager of Kidville
Many children in the UAE are displaying
symptoms of being overweight or obese.
These conditions can cause many health
problems for your child, such as diabetes
and high blood pressure. These conditions
can affect your child now and later as an
adult.
By helping your child establish a healthy
diet and regular exercise, you can reduce
his or her risk of experiencing these health
problems.
How to help guide your child in a healthy direction?Set an example for your child. Prepare
nutritious foods for your family and eat
healthy foods yourself, your child will eat
healthier as well. Make your child feel
special by taking time aside in the late
afternoons to prepare lunch boxes for the
next day. Allow them to create their own
grocery list when buying groceries, however
do encourage that they chose foods from
the food pyramid.
Ensure you provide a variety of foods,
so your family gets all the vitamins and
minerals their bodies need to function
properly. A healthy plate should be divided
into three portions, including grains, fruit/
vegetables and protein. ¼ whole grains
inclusive of whole wheat pasts, whole grain
breads, brown rice, 1/4 lean protein such
as chicken, lean beef, fish, egg and nuts
and ½ of you plate should contain colourful
fruit and vegetables; the deeper in colour
the fruit or vegetable is the higher in
antioxidants and vitamins, and.
Healthy meal examples
Breakfast: The first meal of the day is a
good time to give your child foods that are
high in fiber and complex carbohydrates
to give them energy. Whole-grain breads,
cereals, fruit, low-fat or nonfat cheeses and
yogurt are also good breakfast foods. Use
skim or low-fat milk. Many fruit juices and
fruit blends are usually high in calories and
sugars, they have far fewer nutrients than
whole fruit.
Lunch: Use whole-grain breads and rolls to
make a healthier sandwich. Whole grains
increase the total fiber in your child’s diet
and are less processed than enriched white
bread. Give your child whole-grain crackers
with soups, chili and stew, and always serve

fresh fruit (with the skin) with meals in
place of chips or other high-calorie,
low-nutrient options.
How to create Healthy Camp Snack Sandwiches?• Use a variety of colourful vegetables,
cheeses and leftover meat from last
night’s dinner. Try to avoid processed
lunch meats with an array of additives
and preservatives.
• Buy leaner meats, such as turkey,
chicken or veggie dogs.
• Put leftover chicken or turkey strips
in a tortilla to make a cold fajita (add
strips of raw red and green peppers
and onions).
• Stuff a pita-bread “pocket” with
vegetables, fat-free cheese and bits of
leftover grilled chicken.
• Grilled-cheese sandwiches are always
a hit with children trying using low-fat
or fat-free cheese and serve them with
raw carrot and celery sticks.
• Cut up vegetables such as carrot,
celery and red peppers, canned corn
to add to tuna salad. Mix vegetables
and water-packed tuna with fat-free
mayonnaise or sweet chili sauce.
• Chunky bits of leftover grilled fish
mixed with fat-free mayonnaise,
golden raisins, shredded carrots and
sliced almonds is a delicious salad.
Serve it in small Arabic bread.
• Mix cranberry sauce and fat-free
mayonnaise to add to a turkey
sandwich.
• Use sliced all natural lean meat and
low-fat or fat-free cheese with mustard
is great on rye bread.
• Low-fat cheese makes a good sandwich with
tomato slices and mustard on a whole-grain
roll.
• Slice leftover chicken strips and top with
barbecue sauce for a hot or cold sandwich.
How do you know you’re getting enough?Living in Dubai many parents worry whether
their child is getting enough water, the truth
is there is no set amount of water which
children need to drink every day. However
we encourage children to drink every 20-30
minutes, and larger amounts after exercising
and after meals. We encourage all children
to bring in a bottle of water with them to
keep hydrated throughout the day. When
your body is deprived of water it goes into
dehydration which could lead to illness and
weakness. It best to keep a bottle of water
with you at all times and sip throughout the
day. Your body is very clever and actually
regulates the amount of water in your system
when it’s had enough it prompts you to get
rid of it. If your pee has ever been very light
yellow, your body might have been getting
rid of excess water. When your pee is very
dark yellow, it’s holding on to water, so it’s
probably time to drink up.

Sometimes preparing your child’s snacks is a hit or miss. Either they DON’T like the taste or it isn’t enough to cover their nutritional requirements – given that they are a vessel of immense energy. And just when you thought that school’s over and the lunchbox is off for a holiday, your little one goes to a summer
camp and you couldn’t help but think what you could prepare throughout these summer months. Have we got a treat for you, Mummies! These ladies from
various summer camp destinations offer tips and recipes that not only you can use, your children can benefit from them most especially!
The best snacks for children are those
that contain complex carbohydrates and
proteins that can keep them sustained
throughout their active day. Here are
some easy recipes you can enjoy making:
• Creamy Veggie Wrap – Fill
wholegrain tortillas with cream cheese,
tomatoes, carrots, peppers and sweet
potato. Roll them up and cut them into
bite sized pieces.
• Fruity Kebabs – Thread
pineapple, strawberries, dried fruits,
melon and grapes onto a mini skewer
• Savoury Kebabs – Thread
turkey, tomatoes, cucumber and cheese
onto mini skewers
• Carrot & Muesli Muffins
Asma Maladwala, Inspire Children’s Nursery
Lunchbox magic!
In every lunchbox, we should have a
bottle of water, juice, fresh fruits and
light snacks like baby carrots, cheese
sandwich or a cereal bar. Follow these
tips to make every lunchbox preparation
a success:
• Keep them fresh. Put ice gels inside the
lunch box.
• Make it creative. Cut fruits in animal
shapes, stars, hearts, etc.
• Put some decoration on the sandwich
• Don’t put one healthy and one
unhealthy food because kids will likely
choose the latter
So let your choices always be healthy!

Fresh fruit and veggies are a must to keep the summer heat at bay. A fun way to do this
is to eat the ‘rainbow’ everyday with blueberries, strawberries, carrots, melon and more
arranged to build a colourful plate that ensures different nutrients and textures. You can
pair these up in a bento box with rainbow sandwiches (recipe below) and host a rainbow
tea party! It is essential that children drink loads of “skyjuice” (AKA water) to fuel their
bodies and brains and so this is a must with our rainbow treats. Here are some fun
cooking adventures that ensure your gets their health fix with a little fun thrown in...
