Healthy Treats for Kids

Raise your hand if you’ve been a class parent…

Years of planning class parties has me constantly on the lookout for fun kids’ snacks that have nutritional value, are in the original container, and are easy to make.

Why?

• Sugar shock! Kids are presented with so many unhealthy treats from Halloween until Valentine’s Day. I love healthy alternatives.
• Food allergies! Many schools have strict policies requiring prepackaged snacks. I love ideas that keep treats in their original package.
• Time commitment! I need treats that can be made in a few minutes (tops) when making enough for an entire class.

Once a classroom mom, always a classroom mom!
