Snack Suggestions for Creative Kids Parents
We can work together to make sure your children get nutritious, tasty snacks during their school day. Feel free to get as creative as you’d like and if you have questions give us a call or as your child’s teacher. For ease, we have broken snacks into simple groups. Below are some suggestions on what the USDA feels is appropriate serving sizes for preschoolers. Please send in enough for your class when it is your turn. Creative Kids will always have an alternative in case of allergy needs.
