Snack stations

LOVE this idea of having snacks out for the kids when they get home. One for the counter and one for the fridge.

  • Fish-shaped crackers
  • Mix idea: Cheerios, raisins, almonds, pretzels, and chocolate chips
  • Fruit leathers
  • Graham crackers
  • Pretzels
  • Cheerios
  • Almonds
  • Raisins or other dried fruits











  • Jar of peanut butter (for dipping)
  • String cheese
  • Yogurt
  • Grapes
  • Baby-cut carrots, celery sticks, pepper slices—in plastic bags
  • Orange segments
  • Lunch-meat roll-ups (like turkey-and-Swiss or ham-and-Cheddar)
  • Tub of hummus (for dipping) (gag)
