We all know how hard it is to come up with snacks for kids whether it be at home or school. My advice would be invest in a drawer of baggies and small Tupperware containers. Below is a list of ideas
*Freeze Gogurts
*Freeze grapes
*Fruit cups
*Buy large containers of apple sauce and dish out individual servings, saves a lot of money
*Buy 8 ounce blocks of kids favorite cheese and cube and put into containers
*Peanuts, however be cautious of peanuts as other kids in school may be highly allergic
*Buy large bag of pretzels, animal crackers, or cheese crackers and divide them up on shopping day
*Use small containers for ranch dressing or peanut butter and send along with carrots and apples
*Take flour tortillas and fill with peanut butter or ham and cheese and cut onto small rolls
*Avoid sending mayonnaise to school with your child
*Buy rolls instead of using bread
I will periodically add to this list and please feel free to give suggestions. Main point is buy in bulk, stay away from individual prepackaged bags. Save a lot of money, when you can do it yourself. Sit down and ask your kids what they want, give them healthy choices! Make food FUN, wash their hands and get them involved:)
