  1. pudding or jello cups are a good idea; cereal - they love to eat dry Fruit Loops; little debbie cakes;

    don't send fig newtons, even if your child likes them!  i had a parent send them once when i taught kindergarten and no one would eat them!


  2. what my mom did for me when i was little was: she would cut up a piece of celery, then she would put peanut butter in the 'U' part and then put rasians on the peanut butter. we called it ants on a log. what ever you bring

    IT SHOULD BE HEALTHY

    THEY ARE LITTLE KIDS THEY NEED HEALTHY FOOD!

    YOU WOULD WANT OTHER PARENTS TO BRING IN HEALTY FOODS FOR YOUR SON RIGHT!

  3. String cheese, those new cinnamon wheat thins, if there are no peanut allergies, my son's class did this and all the kids thought it was great: pretzel sticks a dab of peanut butter and go fishing for goldfish crackers.

    Also for a treat that is not so healthy but all the kids love is graham crackers with frosting in the middle. We usually have two people that bring a snack and one person that brings a drink so if at least one of the snacks is healthy, it balances out.

  4. gold fish are always good and fun to eat how about that? or animal crackers

  5. Hostess

  6. Chips- not anything that will dye their papers orange or get everything greasy maybe funyuns or sun chips

    Fruit- apples, grapes, bananas, etc...

    Snack Cakes- twinkies, choclate cupcakes,etc

    Chex Mix

    Finger Sandwiches

  7. My child had to do the same thing.  At first, I took apples and bananas.  The I took cans of fruit for everyone.  They hardly ate the fruit and fruit cocktail.  So I let my child pick out the snack next time.  She chose pop tarts.   The children can't seem to get enough pop tarts.  I could hardly believe it!  They love them.  (I hated them as a child....and still do.)  But if that is what they like, that's what they get.

  8. I found this recipe on Pillsbury.com for Cheerios-Trix Treats.  They are just like Rice Crispy Treats only with Cheerios and Trix.  They are yummy for the little ones and big kids too.

    Spray 9x9 pan with oil.  Melt 1/4 cup butter in large saucepan over medium heat.  Add 4 cups mini marshmallows; cook until melted, stirring constantly.  Remove from heat.  Gently stir in 3 cups Cheerios, 3 cups Trix and (if no allergies) 1 cup salted peanuts.  Pour mixture into sprayed pan and press evenly in pan with sprayed sheet of wax paper.  Cool 30 minutes or until completely cooled then cut into bars and wrap individually with fun colored Saran wrap.  Makes about 15 bars.  

    You could also try this...

    Chex Mix, Goldfish, Raisins, M&M's, and Animal Crackers, mix all these together in a big bowl and scoop into ice cream cones with a flat bottom.

  9. what ever you do don't take really healthy food kids don't like it and no one would won't to eat it and that would make your son not feel so good

    lol

    give them oreos or soming like that chips would be good or maybee stawberrys with sugar (or splenda)

  10. My kids always take snacks to school

    my answer is grahm crackers, cookies, seedless grapes, juice boxes, gold fish, fuit snacks

  11. Individually wrapped string cheese

    Individual sized boxes of raisins

    Go-Gurt

    Individual packages of peanut butter crackers

    Little packages of Goldfish

    Fruit roll-ups

    Individual pudding cups, fruit cups or jello cups

    Those 100 calorie snacks that have like cereal and peanut butter chips in them (they're good for adults!)

    Luigi's Italian Ice (they come in small individual cups)

    Hope this helps!

  12. fruit cups, jello fruits, or even fresh fruits (apples, pears, bananas).  There is also this pretzel sticks with cheese dipping... gotta be a favorite!   Cheese or peanut cracker sandwiches.. another favorite.

  13. Garden harvest chips.  The apple/cinammon ones have been a big hit with my son's class.

    You can also try:

    -- Graham Crackers

    -- Fruit (i.e. orange wedges, grapes)

    -- Animal Crackers

    -- Cheese and Crackers

    -- Chex Mix

    -- Trail Mix

    -- Pudding

    -- Cereal trail mix

  14. Individually packaged crackers; cookies; mini carrots & ranch dip; peanut butter crackers; raisins & nuts; yogurt; string cheese.

  15. Start by asking the teacher if there are any food allergies - - that will help with what to avoid.

    I really like the apple slices - - cleaned & cored and they would be perfect for little kids.  They also wouldn't be too messy if the kids drop any of them.

  16. Are their any classroom allergies?

    ants on a log (soy butter/peanut butter, celery, raisins)

    Lady bugs on a log (use cran-raisins, or cranberries)

    Smoothies (berries, yogurt, bananas, ice)

    Trail Mix (crackers, dried fruit, pretzels, yogurt bites, mm's, etc.)

    ask the teacher for suggestions..(sometimes they know best)

    fruit salad (different fruits that your child/other children have not tried)

    veggie platter and a few different types of dips

    *sometimes the dip is the best part

    animal crackers and peanut butter and yogurt mixed together for a dip...

    apple slices (use the apple cutter) and dip in peanut butter, cinamin, applesauce, etc.

    applesauce cups with cinn on top.

    bagel chips with sliced grape tomatoes and moz cheese

  17. Cereals are a good choice....good ones are Kix, Mighty Bites, Fruit Loops, Apple Jacks, maybe a fun halloween one like Boo Berry or Frankenberry.  :)  Have fun

  18. maybe some prepacked teddy grahms or something like that.  But make sure that there are no food allergies, such as peanut, milk, wheat, etc before.
