I am babysitting my nephew for two weeks and I need some recipes he would enjoy :) TEN POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is four years old and I made homemade mac and cheese before with him (he loved it)








I am 15, but I am pretty skilled in the kitchen (I cook almost everyday).








I usually make fancier meals, but considering he is very young I don't think he would enjoy stuffed roasted red bell pepper with red wine sauce or meals like that.





Can you please give me simple recipes that yout hink he may enjoy??I am babysitting my nephew for two weeks and I need some recipes he would enjoy :) TEN POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe some baked potatoes too?
My grandson is 4, and his sister is 2-1/2. They like ';pigs in blankets'; (hot dogs, rolled in refrigerated crescent rolls %26amp; baked).... chicken fingers ... pork chops ... hamburgers ... chicken ... veggies with dip (especially broccoli, celery %26amp; carrots)... fruit (especially watermelon and mandarin oranges)... Jello Jigglers ... French fries %26amp; tater tots ... cheese pizza ... taco salad..........but don't put sauces on things for them:) Give him ketchup or Ranch dressing, if he likes to dip things....
