Need Help W/ Holiday Recipe For Preschool

I need help finding easy holiday recipes for my 4 year old to use for preschool class. His class likes to cook but I need to send in a gluten free AND dairy free recipe. I would like it to be something cute, easy, and edible that will not take much time since it is a class of 4 year olds with their teacher.

Any ideas would be welcome.

Thank you!

Hmmm...so many things to chose from...

gluten-free crackers and peanut butter.

Apples or applesauce with chopped nuts and cinnamon.

Tapioca pudding (made with water, juice or rice/soy milk), then add fruit/berries.

Blend peanut butter with applesauce to form like a pudding, then add cinnamon/carob/cocoa/etc.

Popcorn balls - held together with peanut butter and carob or cocoa.

These things can be made without sugar too, and nobody will miss it either :)

How about some rice krispie treats made with Erewhon rice cereal? We use the one with the raspberries and blueberries in the cereal.

Mix a package of Kraft marshmellows with three TBSPs of Smart Balance instead of butter over low heat or heat in the microwave. Mix in 6 cups of the cereal and when coated, press the mixture into a 13x9 pan coated with olive oil. I also put melted chocolate chips over the top which my daughter can handle. She loves them.

We took them to a Christmas party this weekend so she could have something to eat and a ton of people asked for the recipe. They were surprised they were so simple. The fruit makes them taste a bit different, but good.

You can also use fruity pebbles for this. Cheaper. Pretty. But lots of sugar!

      That's interesting - that's a lot of gluten! I'll be very curious to see how my son responds to the gluten. In some ways, I guess having a strong reaction would tell us something? It's tough navigating this as a parent and having it be not so clear cut ;\

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JamieAnn!  Glad you had a good experience at your local Jersey Mike's.  In the town I live in all we have is Subway and they stopped offering gluten free buns. So, I can't eat there anymore. Oh, more recently there has come to our town a Firehouse sub shop and, according to the Internet, they offer gluten free buns but I haven't tried them yet. For super sensitive celiacs, cross-contamination in handling at these sub shops may also be a problem.

      Today, in Uniontown, PA,  I ordered Jersey Mike’s Italian sub on gluten-free bread (paid extra for gluten-free) for my brother who hasn’t had a sub in yrs (neorological prob if consumes). He’s so happy! Their gluten-free bread is from a company that specializes in gluten-free products, some of which I’ve enjoyed before, so figured a sub would be good!

      Most recent gluten challenge guidelines call for the consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in about 4-6 slices of wheat-based bread) for at least 2 weeks.  When celiacs have been on gluten free diets for long periods of time, they often find that when they consume a good amount of gluten, they react much more strongly than they did before going gluten free. They have lost all tolerance to the poison they had when consuming wheat products regularly. That is certainly the case with me. A couple of years ago I accidentally consumed a wheat biscuit my wife had made thinking it was a gluten free one and it made me violently ill. So, I mention that as I don't know if your son has started the gluten challenge yet.
