“Cooking with kids is not just about ingredients, recipes, and cooking.
It’s about harnessing imagination, empowerment, and creativity.”
Guy Fieri

We all love a freshly baked crisp French baguette, but when the slices resemble tiny clouds floating in the clear blue sky that makes everything taste a little better. To make this traditional crostini appetizer family friendly we added a bit of color and a bit of taste.

To get started, slice your baguette and lightly toast the pieces either with a toaster or under a broiler. I like to spread mine out on a cookie sheet, brush with olive oil and bake under the broiler for a few minutes. When your bread is toasted and cooled down the fun can begin! Grad your kiddos and grab your ingredients. We’ve found that almost anything tastes great on toast so feel free to get creative and mix and match your toppings.

Some kid approved combinations in our house include:
/ Unsalted butter or ghee, thinly sliced radishes, himalayan salt, parsley
/ Extra Virgin Olive Oil, sliced turkey, cucumbers, a drizzle of aged balsamic
/ Pesto, turkey, marinated yellow peppers, parsley or basil
/ Apricot jelly, Prosciutto, purple basil
/ Pesto, olive oil, grape tomatoes, freshly grated parmesan

Happy cooking and bon appétit!

Copyright © 2026 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
