It is the end of the year, and students need that little something to keep focused on school. Pack snacks that keep sugar levels down. This will help with the after recess crash...
1. Sliced cucumbers...a nice fresh treat!
2. String cheese - yes an old favorite! Why not stock up on this treat? You can roll lunch meat around the cheese and slice into smaller bits for a change.
3. Sugar free jello cups! You can make your own and save money. Shop at a restaurant supply store for disposable cups and lids. Some stores have really inexpensive containers. I have bought some cups and lids at Shamrock for less than five dollars. You can buy about 300! That's enough for at least the summer. Use the containers for jello or fruit cups! In the summer, you can make popsicles.
4. Always think of snacks that are easy to eat. Children throw out tons of food just because the snack is hard to open or messy. I can't tell you how many times children try to pry open a yogurt tube with their teeth and hand it over to a teacher to open- all slobbered on and dirty. If it gets opened, then yogurt squirts all over the place. Most tubes end up in the trash. So, pack an inexpensive easy to open yogurt and a disposable spoon. It's cheaper, neater, and your child can save themselves the trouble of prying open the tube with their teeth.
Have fun making snacks with the kids!! Be kind and remember that sugar treats can lead to a sugar crash.
Thanks for listening to the tips! The end of the year is so busy, but I will try to post some ideas soon. Please share...
Family Blessings,
Abi
