I need some great HEALTHY snack ideas for my daughters preschool class.
- Nothing messy
- I would like to send 3 different things.
- It needs to be something either individually packaged, or something that I can split up into individual bags.
Last month I sent applesauce, crackers and string cheese, so I do not want to send the same thing.
Thanks for any help….I will choose a best answer!

i work in a daycare/preschool so hopefully this will help you:
no peanut related foods. Some kids have nasty allergies. The less sugar the better your child can concentrate and behave.
With that said: fruits, animal crackers, fruit cups, yogurt, granola bars, cereal bars, pre packaged cupcakes are some of the top items that come in. Oh and veggie chips are a big hit too.
With so many allergies and dietary restrictions and concern with bacteria and germs, sending snacks can be tough!
Pretzels are usually a big hit and you can find individual bags of them. I’d also suggest the packaged apple slices for a second one.
Small cups of yogurt would also be a different snack for the kids.
My son has a similar program at his kindergarten. Last month, we sent boxed fruit snacks purchased from the grocery store. This past month, we sent pre-packaged peanut butter cookies.
You may want to consider fruit, such as apple slices. They also have packaged fruit in individual packages, similar to apple sauce cups at your grocer. Dried Fruit, such as banana chips may be worth a look, but I’m not sure if children that age would be keen on eating something like that.
Triscuts, mixed fruit, a rice crispy treat?
GoGurt(yogurt in those disposable tubes)
low fat popcorn
animal crackers
celery with peanut butter && raisins? (ants on a log)
those are all things my two year old loves(:
i would send grapes,carrots,yogurt, bagel bits with peanut butter.
etc.
hope i helped!
