Daily Snack Shop
A friend of mine has started this genius idea of “Mummy’s Snack Shop”. Each snack has a price and the money is earned by doing little jobs about the house.
Daily Snack Box
I have been setting the kids snacks out each morning, along with a jug of juice (my kids drink LOADS so this is not an issue in our house but you could add a bottle of juice which they need to drink by a certain time if needed). They can eat them at any point throughout the day – so long as they ask and it’s not right before lunch or tea! But once they are gone, they are gone!
I’ve included one piece of fruit, one treat (biscuit, crisps or fruit winder etc) and one portion of veg such as carrot and cucumber sticks. I’ve also used this as an opportunity to get them to try new things, we have tried dried apricots which went down a storm and also hummus and breadsticks which was not such a hit!
Snack ideas have been proving a challenge in our house, the kids have been getting bored with the same old, same old snacks and after 6 weeks I’ve had to get my thinking cap on!
