Frozen yoghurt bark recipe
A simple, tasty snacktivity that’s fun to decorate and even better to eat.
This is one of those magical activities that ticks all the boxes - it’s quick to prep (+ additional freezing time), gets your child involved, encourages fine motor skills and independence, and ends with a snack they’re excited about.
Spread some yoghurt on a tray, then let your little one sprinkle on their toppings - fruit, seeds, crushed cereal, coconut, granola, choc chips, anything you’ve got. Pop it in the freezer and in a couple of hours, you’ll have a chilly treat ready to go.

Colour swirl fun: Swirl a bit of berry puree or natural food dye through the yoghurt before freezing for a marbled effect.
Shape play: Pour the mixture into silicone moulds (like stars or hearts) instead of a tray.
Texture talk: Explore textures together - how it feels to spread the yoghurt, sprinkle toppings, and how it changes once frozen.
