The Sunbean's preschool has a great snack schedule. Each child is responsible for a whole week's worth of snacks, a few times per year. It is so easy to assemble a week's worth of snacks, and gives the kids some good variety. One of the kiddos has an allergy to all tree nuts and peanuts {are peanuts tree nuts? thankfully, I'm quite oblivious to the world of food allergies}, so the snacks obviously need to be nut-free.
This week is snack week, so here's what I found on Pinterest came up with.
Monday: sandwiches on a stick
verdict: the sunbean loved helping, and the teachers raved at pick-up
Tuesday: apple cars and apple mini-muffins
verdict: the sunbean tested them last night, and she thought the cars were awesome
i tested the muffins, and they were seriously good.
Wednesday: yogurt-dipped strawberries and wonton fruit cups
verdict: my yogurt-dipped strawberries certainly don't look pretty, but luckily they are for the 3-year-old crowd. i used vanilla greek yogurt, and they taste kinda chalky.
i haven't made the wonton fruit cups yet, but i did spent 20+ minutes looking for wonton wrappers at Kroger. they're in the organic section.
Thursday: animal crackers and juice boxes for the field trip to the zoo

No, peanuts are not tree nuts because they grow under ground compared to pecans that grow in trees and such like them. Katie is in a class where there are 3 different allergies. So if you bring in a snack that you want ALL the kids to enjoy it has to be nut free, gluten free and dairy free. So coming up with cupcakes was a challenge. I'm glad I don't have to do the allergy thing too.
