When it is your snack week, please remember to bring the following:
- cut flowers (for flower arranging work)
- carrots (large and unpeeled)
- apples (whole and firm)
- oranges
Things to think about when preparing snacks
- Please keep in mind the following allergies we have at school this year: egg, dairy, rice, peanut and tree nuts
- When choosing bread or crackers for snack week, please choose whole grain varieties with no hydrogenated oils
- It is a good idea to offer snacks that allow the children to take as much or as little as they like, e.g.: sandwiches that have been quartered, fruit saled that has been cut into bite size pieces or bananas that can be halved.
- Think of healthy snacks your child enjoys and share that snack with the class, it’s wonderful for the kids to be exposed to new tastes!
Snack Ideas
- cheese and whole wheat bread or crackers
- carrot sticks or apple slices or similar fruits and vegetables (please no grapes unless you cut them all in half due to daycare regulations); if you choose bananas please plan on half a banana per child
- veggies and dip
- small muffins, mini bagels or other not-too-sweet baked goods
- raisins or other dried fruit
- chex mix
- finger food from other cultures is always a special treat
- bite size, whole grain cereal
- mini yogurts or squeeze yogurts
