The Healthy Snack Bar<\/div>\n

*For Playdate or Trail Mix Party:<\/em> I printed the letters “Healthy” from the party logos that are in the “School Day” printable collection<\/a>.\u00a0 The backing of the top banner\u00a0is reversed cupcake liners taped onto (scalloped-cut) coffee filters.\u00a0 I also printed “Snack Week” from the pennant banner portion of the collection.<\/div>\n
I printed out the measuring tape graphics, taped around the lips of the jars, and taped on my personalized ingredients.<\/div>\n

Creating Your Weekly Snack Containers:<\/strong><\/em>
\n1:\u00a0 To start the project, first I had the girls write Monday – Friday, and their names on each label.

2. Next – they peeled off the sticker backing, and put on each plastic lid of their snack containers – you can also put labels on ziplock bags, if you don’t want weekly storage containers)<\/div>\n

3. Here comes the fun part – I told the girls to go pick out their favorite snacks and put on their trays to begin their “weekly snack creations”.<\/div>\n
They could fill each day with whatever ingredients they wanted, as long as it was proportionate (I didn’t let them just fill with dark chocolate raisins for example… they needed to mix in other fun goodies).<\/div>\n

(Brynne wanted to write-out each week day… and since Grayce is still learning to write, she chose to just use daily abbreviations)<\/p>\n
\n
\n
They each filled their containers with totally different combinations – it was really quite fascinating to watch what they picked!<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

4. Once they filled their Monday – Friday containers, they sealed them up and put them away.\u00a0 (I did let them sneak a few bites before storing in the cupboards)<\/div>\n

Enjoying the Snacks<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
So fun… so easy… and the best part is that the kids created them, and won’t be throwing a fit when it is time to grab their snacks after school!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Let them enjoy these snacks with a piece of fresh fruit, or small piece of cheese and this should last them until dinner time!\u00a0 It \u00a0provides a healthy pick-me-up before homework –\u00a0or even extra-curricular activities, without Mom having to be involved!<\/div>\n
Yay to kids DOING IT THEMSELVES!!!!<\/div>\n
