Give your kids containers or baggies full of sliced vegetables. Have all their favorites, and even sneak in a few new ones. Provide each child with their own sheet of aluminum foil coated with non-stick cooking spray. Let each child add veggies to their foil along with dabs of butter. Then demonstrate how to fold up the foil so the vegetables don’t fall out. Place each child’s veggie pack on hot coals and let them cook for 30 minutes.
If you’re grilling burgers let your kids make foil fries. Give them a large sheet of foil coated with non-stick cooking spray. Give them a large bowl of potatoes cut in the shape of fries.

Place the fry packet on hot coals, and cook for 30-45 minutes.
