Anyone else’s kids get off the bus ready to cut someone if they don’t have a snack ASAP? With early lunchtimes and active days, my children are hungry by the time they get home. I am so very much still growing and learning as a mom–this is the first year both my kiddos are in school full day!–and I’m only now getting a handle on the whole after school snack business. I’ve learned a few tips and tricks that suit us well, and I’m here to share them here with you–one stressor you needn’t battle, mama! We’re here to help you sort it 🙂

Frustrated over keeping your kiddos fed and happy? Try these 3 smart ideas for after school snacks and rockstar it out, mama! Your kids will love it and the stress of sorting out what to feed them is gone. A win-win, mama!

3 Smart After School Snack Ideas

  1. Kids must finish their lunch. Dude, packing lunches day after day is no fun, let’s be honest. I work hard to fill their boxes with healthy choices they will enjoy (no easy task!). We have set a rule that whatever they don’t finish at lunch, they will eat for their after school snack. Works well and no waste!
  2. Start healthy. If they have finished their lunch before they get home, we always go for a healthy choice first–a yogurt, cheese stick, apple, etc.
  3. If after finishing lunch and their healthy bite, they still ask for more snack, this is where the sweetness comes in! As my kids are both active and enjoy a balanced diet, I am happy to allow them the occasional treat. And I am rather particular about what we choose as after school snack treats!

Super After School Snack Treat Idea

Who doesn’t love Teddy Grahams? I remember enjoying them as a child, and they were one of the first finger-food snacks I introduced to my babies. This brand is a classic, and for a good reason–their products are delicious and so very well loved by kiddos! When I learned that Teddy Grahams introduced a new product, TEDDY SOFT BAKED Filled Snacks, I was eager to check them out for our family. The result? A total win!
