Kid School Snack Ideas

Besides packing school lunches (that will be the next posting) I was told that my kindergartener needs to also bring a morning snack everyday. Last year they had a snack calendar and you brought snack every 12 days for the whole class. Good and bad I guess. You didn't have to pack one everyday, but you also didn't know what the other parents were sending! Trust me...not usually good stuff!

I've put together a list of healthy snack ideas to send your little ones to school:
1. grapes
2. strawberries
3. clementines
4. string cheese
5. yogurt cup or tube
6. peanut butter on celery
7. applesauce
8. air popped popcorn
9. pretzel sticks
10. banana
11. apple slices with peanut butter
12. almonds
13. sunflower seeds
14. dried fruit
15. homemade trail mix
16. black olives (what kid doesn't love those!)

18. watermelon
19. raisins
20. graham crackers

24. peaches and cottage cheese
25. mandarin oranges
26. pickles
27. turkey and cheese roll up
