解析：
【分析】
本题为英语短文填空题，需结合固定搭配、语法规则（非谓语动词、词形变化等）完成填空。解题时需逐句分析空格处的语法成分，回忆对应的固定短语、句型或词形转换规则，逐一确定每个空格的正确答案。
【解析】
1. 固定搭配both...and...表示“两者都”，连接形容词sweet和sour，故填and。
2. 固定句型It's + adj + for sb + to do sth中，it为形式主语，真正主语是不定式，故填to say。
3. 介词for后需接动名词作宾语，动词eat需变为动名词形式，故填eating。
4. 固定短语full of表示“充满”，符合语境，故填of。
5. 固定搭配use sth to do sth表示“用某物做某事”，此处不定式作目的状语，故填to make。
6. 此处指“孩子们”，child的复数形式为Children，句首首字母大写，故填Children。
7. 空格后是名词colour，需用形容词性物主代词修饰，they的形容词性物主代词是their，故填their。
8. be动词后需接形容词作表语，health的形容词形式是healthy，故填healthy。
【答案】
1. and 2. to say 3. eating 4. of 5. to make 6. Children 7. their 8. healthy
