re: Any creative recipes for kindergarten snack??

Quoting Amy G*I*G:“ ants on a log always goes over like da bomb in preschool Celery w/peanut butter (if you can) or pea ... [snip!] ... and they have units and withing the units are snack ideas that you can plan if you know what is going on in the classroom”

TY  I'll be trying these except the P.B. I need to make shure no kids are allergic.

Quoting lolajessup:“ well i dont have an exact idea, but can i just suggest a kind of healthy snack. it's always nice to teach ... [snip!] ... nice to teach children that even healthy foods can be snacks   ooh and make sure there no food allergies in the class as well.”

I agree! Especially if you want to help keep your kids teacher sane and not dealing with 20 bouncing off the walls Kindergartners.... Asa prescool teacher I LOVE the parent who brings the healthy stuff... I want to hug them and say thanks for making things easy on me....

Quoting kristen nicole ♥:“ i always liked ants on a log! celery slices filled with peanut butter and little raisins on top. ... [snip!] ... too. Get teddy grahams, marshmallows, dried fruits, and either choc chips or m & m's is a really big hit with kids too!”

that is a good one... it is also great if you want to extend that a bit and put all the ingreds. in seperate bowls so that each kid has their own trail mix of stuff they will eat... although I would keep the sweets out of it and then maybe go around with a couple of choices (m n m's, marshmallows, yogurt chips) that you can monitor...

I will... He gives the best hugs.   I have started putting notes in his lunchbox and he thinks its cool.  

I forgot to add, put a little circle cut out of a paper plate in the bottom of the flower pot, or put oreo at the bottom and then the pudding, otherwise the pudding could perhaps drain out of the little circle that is at the bottom of it.


I have another snack idea- Puppy Chow.
It's good, relatively cheap, quick and OMG delicious!
