Mother's Day Breakfasts Kids Can Actually Make

Little ones will love placing the berries and chocolate into each cavity. It's like a delicious breakfast puzzle!

To Prepare: Fill the dimples of cooked toaster waffles with berries and chocolate. Try blueberries with white-chocolate chips, or cut-up strawberries with semi-sweet chocolate chips. Drizzle with syrup before serving.

If your bagels aren't already halved, let dad do the slicing. Young kids can spread the cream cheese with the back of a spoon and layer the cucumber and lox with their fingers.

To Prepare: Spread halved sesame bagels with cream cheese and top with cucumber slices and lox.

Store-bought lemon-poppy muffins make easy work of this layered breakfast treat. With no cooking or cutting required, even the youngest kids can help prepare breakfast for Mom.

To Prepare: Crumble store-bought lemon poppy seed muffins and layer in a small glass with honey-sweetened Greek yogurt.

Toast and topping options are almost endless. Here are a few ideas to get the kids started:

1. Swirl on honey-sweetened ricotta cheese. Then add sliced fruit.
2. Layer peanut butter or almond butter, sliced banana, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
3. Spread on a bit of softened butter and add thinly sliced hard-boiled egg.
4. Peel, pit, and smash an avocado, smear on top, and sprinkle with a little salt.
5. Cover with whipped cream cheese and top with smoked salmon. Sprinkle with chopped dill for extra credit.

Most of these tasks can be accomplished with a butter knife, but kids should enlist a grown-up for help peeling and pitting the avocado.
