What's the best way to calculate snacks/juice for a large amount of children?

Question

I'm helping with a church's vacation bible school and need to estimate how much of each item I need before purchasing. Some snacks are easy - just look at the serving size and multiply by number of children. Juice I'm not sure of - is 4 oz of juice per child enough? Children are age 4 through 5th grade. Also, I'd like to make a trail mix - some cheerios, raisins, pretzels, etc. How do I figure this out? Any help you can give is appreciated. Thanks so much!!

Answer 1

Since it is summer I think at least 8 - 12 oz. per child would be better. For trail mix I would guess 1 cup per child.

Answer 2

No biggie...just buy a couple of cases of huggies.  Theyre small enough that they wont go to waste..As far as snacks, just go to Sams Club and pick up a huge bag of snacks.  Theyre really cheap.  Youre thinking waaay too much.  Just remember, its always best to have too much than not enough!

Answer 3

8oz sounds about right

just make you have extra

and for the trail mix 1 cup is good

but be careful for allergies
