Aidan's kindergarten class has each parent sign up to provide snacks for a week. This happens to be my week. I have to provide a snack for 20 kids. They request that it be a healthy snack, preferably organic, with no trans fats or processed sugars, no peanut butter or peanut products, and that you provide 2-3 choices. I shopped for the week and this is what I have planned:
Mon - Barbara's Organic raspberry/fig newtons and organic raisins
Tue - Honey wheat bagels with cream cheese and strawberry spread, organic vanilla soy milk
Wed - string cheese sticks, honey sesame crackers, and dried cranberries, vanilla soy milk
Thurs - blueberries, raspberries, wholegrain cheese crackers and apple juice
Friday - bananas, Colby cheese and honey wheat pretzels and organic lemonade.
Aidan is a picky eater, so I had a difficult time coming up with snacks that were suitable for the class and that my child would eat as well. I kept reverting back to peanut butter and having to remind myself, no peanut products.
The nice thing about getting this week done early in the year is that I won't have to worry about it the rest of the year.
A lot of work, but a great idea since you won't have to worry about the rest of the year! I'm impressed with the no sugar/organic preference too. Last year parents in L's class didn't get that and there were times where there would be cake, cookies and candy showing up for one 11am party, despite these items not being on the sign up sheet. And at a classroom birthday celebration last week a parent actually handed out toy guns in the goodie bag!!!
