What are some healthy playtime snacks for my kid?
The foods that you give your kid to take to school need to be transportable and able to survive without refrigeration. Always include their favourite choices as often as you can and encourage them to try new things. Healthy choices include: • A portion of any fresh fruit e.g. banana, pear, apple, a handful of grapes etc. • Dried fruit of any type – e.g. individual cartons of raisins can be handy. • Low fat cereal bar. • Fruit juice, juice drink, flavoured water. • Small sandwich or filled mini pitta pocket. • Breadsticks. • Popcorn. • Crackers. • Vegetable sticks and a dip e.g. salsa, cheese etc. • Fruit bread/loaf. • Fruit scone.
