What are some things you bring? We are responsible for providing a snack for 18 kids once a month, so about 9 times out of the school year. I want something that's on the healthier side, but that will be a hit with at least most of the kids so it's not wasted. Any good ideas?

Fruit
Cheese sticks
Graham crackers
mini whole wheat bagels with jelly

I try to usually bring fruit because I know most of the other parents default to crackers in their various forms.
-
Maybe not the most cost effective, but fruit/applesauce pouches or yogurt, maybe those squeezey yogurt tube things?
-
We have to bring a carb, a protein, and a fruit or veggie. Some things that we have done (plus a fruit/veg):
Hummus and pita
Cheese and crackers
Mini bagels and cream cheese
Squeeze yogurt
Pepperoni or hard salami and crackers
Tortellini and tomato sauce -
Some ideas from my son's class last year:
Salsa and whole wheat crackers
clementines, in season
bananas, cut into thirds
Cucumber and hummus
Whole wheat wrap, sunbutter, banana, cut into rounds
Cheese sticks and dried cranberries
Apple slices , applesauce, dried apples -
My go to is squeeze yogurt and strawberries.
-
My go-to is cheese cubes. I buy a couple bags at the store and send those in.
-
When I had to bring snacks, I always liked to bring popcorn! A fun treat to mix things up a little. And fruit. I would often make mini muffins of various sorts (often banana though).
-
Fruit and cheese.
Avoids the may contain some peanut stuff and is universally popular with toddlers. -
Do any of the kids have food allergies? That may limit what you can bring...
-
I would do fruit. We have a lot of food restrictions.

@oliviaoblivia: @Adira: I asked that and she actually said it is not a peanut free school so we can bring anything we want. I'll probably avoid that anyway, and if I learn of any allergies I will try and accommodate. She said they just provide something different for those with allergies.

If you bake at all, banana bread/muffins is a hit with every kid I've met - kind of a treat because it's like cake but also pretty healthy.
