Toddler Snack Pack

Working with children, I see DAILY how unhealthy their snacks and or lunches are on a daily basis.  Mostly, packaged cookies, packaged cakes, chips, etc.  Now, I know it gets busy day to day, so you purchase the quickest things to throw in their bags but I just wanted to share with you what goes in Kiyah's Snack Pack.  Maybe it will encourage you or give you ideas on healthier choices.  

Packing sugary foods gives your child the false energy the need to play during lunch or recess, but then they crash during critical learning hours at school.  If you pack healthier options, they will have natural energy and be able to focus in class A LOT MORE!

It may take a little more work, but what is a little more work compared to a healthier, happier child?

Now, I am not saying to completely take away all the fun stuff in their packs, because, they are still kids and a treat never hurt. I'm just saying add more healthy options.  I see first hand the difference in children who eat healthier options than those that don't.

Kiyah's Snack Pack is just that...snacks.  It is not an actual lunch because her daycare provides breakfast and lunch, so these snacks are for snack times and to add to the meals that are provided.

Her water bottle holds water from a 16.9 oz bottle.  The reason I put it in this bottle instead of just sending a regular water bottle is because as weird as it sounds, she is more likely to drink water out of something fun, like this bottle (or her tea cups during tea parties) than she is out of regular water bottles.  Don't know why, don't really care as long as she gets water each day. 

 She has strawberries, white corn tortilla chips, teddy grams, carrots and cucumber and ranch for dipping them in the little egg.

Bought this water bottle at the Dollar Tree..the one by my house has tons of different cups and bottles with lids and such.
