Double Dippin’ Cheese Sticks
String cheese is not usually a food we need to convince our kids to eat, but this is a fun way to enjoy it. It teaches the kids about different textures, colors, and tastes—and they can double dip all they want! Choose some of the dips from the list below or create your own ideas. Remember to teach them only double dip if it is your food, not shared!
Makes 1 serving
1 piece string cheese
Choose 4 of the following ingredients:
1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 tablespoon applesauce
1 tablespoon crushed pine nuts, almonds, or peanuts
1 tablespoon crushed tortilla chips
1 tablespoon crushed crackers or goldfish crackers
Put the dipping ingredients in separate small dishes on a plate with the cheese. Have your child dip the string cheese into each dish and discuss the different tastes. Take a bite and dip again.

This is hysterical! Kids will love this opportunity to double dip, especially since we tell them not to most of the time! And it is a good recycling food project too - use up the little bits of stuff that you would otherwise throw away.
great idea! i have never eaten string cheese before!lol. but it would be fun i think to dip some other stuff into all these crushed bits. my mum always just pours all those crushed thing to top her icecream:)
This is sooo true. I have like a million half full baggies rolled up in my cardboard and it totally drives me crazy!
