Question

What is a creative healthy snack for a kindergarten class on snack day?

Answer 1

Peanutbutter if no one is allergic.  Not only is it healthy, it sticks their mouths together for a little piece and quiet.

Answer 2

Try some sandwiches with jam and cut them into different shapes with shape cutters. Bring some smashed chocolate along with icing to encourage tha kids to decorate them on their own.

Answer 3

Carrot sticks, cheese on celery, dried fruit, peanut butter, crackers, yogurt, any type of fruit, pretzel sticks, trail mix, banana, or cereal of any type... Hope this helps!

Answer 4

Apricot with some honey (natural). Put the honey around the apricot but the top. Add with some peanutbutter on the top. Then, smush it between 2 grahm crackers.

Answer 5

I always enjoyed crackers in kindergarten.  Some others may be:

Fruit Juice (Tropical Punch is the favorite)

Sliced Fruit such as apples and bananas.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches

Maybe an educational pamphlet to go along with the fruit and a coloring guide?

Also, asking the kids themselves for some ideas might help too.

Answer 6

You can make "ants on a log". It's easy. Just get pretzel sticks or celery sticks sliced in half and spread peanut butter on them and put small raisins on the peanut butter. It's fun and good to eat!

Answer 7

trail mix and take them 4 a pretend hike around the playground.would be fun and educational to to watch birds and bugs

Answer 8

Carrot sticks, cheese on celery, dried fruit (with nuts if they are allowed at your school and if no one is allergic),  frozen bananas on a stick, carrot sticks, individual yogurts, cheese and crackers, etc.

Answer 9

anything with rasins

Answer 10

Sultanas on wholemeal bread (with crusts cut off). They are nice and soft and appealing to children (no crusts). You could cut the bread into shapes with cookie cutters, although this makes a lot of wasted bread, or just cut into little triangles.

Take stones out of dates and put in some cream cheese.

Answer 11

This is a good article in general about healthy eating in Kindergarten.

I taught kindergarten last year, and we always appreciated when parents would send in healthy snacks for the class.  So many parents would just send in junk food.

have fun =]

Answer 16

My mom used to cut the core out of an apple, saving the two ends of the core, fill the hole with peanut butter, and put the two ends back in like plugs so the apple looked almost new.  I'd take a bite of apple and get peanut butter in the middle too!

But peanut allergy is pretty common in kids, so you have to be careful about sending peanut butter into a classroom.

Answer 17

Ants on a log!  Celery with peanut butter, raisins, and pretzle sticks.  Mini muffins~2 or 3 per student.  Grapes are good, but cut them incase someone chokes.

Answer 18

Banana muffins or hummus and crackers

Answer 19

I don't know if you are having a 'theme' for this learning experience but I've always enjoyed reading Wombat Stew and discussing recipes.  The animals help Dingo create a revolting stew.  Ask each child to bring in somethinng from home - fruit, vegetables, yogurt, you name it.  Put them into groups and ask them to come up with their own recipe!  Encourage them to 'write' their recipe.  At the end of the cooking experience, each group gets a taste test and finallyy vote on the best-tasting recipe.  This is a great culmination activity - and surprisingly, some very tasty dishes!
