School Snack Ideas
Mason is going to a Kindergarten jump start program for the next few weeks. We are supposed to send him in with a snack, but the snacks cannot contain nuts, lactose, or fruit.
He is a big fruit eater, and doesn't really eat any veggies, so that eliminates most of our usual snacks. We have Pirate Booty, which seems to meet all of the requirements, but I would like some variety and I am drawing a blank! I also don't want to unkowingly send something in that is allergy related.
Re: School Snack Ideas
Pretzels?
All that's coming to mind are crunchy things, like pretzels, goldfish, etc.
Jake - 1.15.08
Liam - 5.17.11
And what do they mean by lactose? Does that disqualify cheddar pirate booty or just yogurt?
Ideas - Pretzels, bagel chips, whole wheat bunnies, sunflower seeds or sunbutter on crackers (check labels, sometimes but free and sometimes not), sun chips, dry cereal (many are nut free), granola bars (trickier to find nut free)
Everything else I send involves fruit...
Thanks for the ideas! I thought it was a strange list as well. I didn't really read it until I got home, so I wasn't able to ask anyone for more details. The program is run by Americorps (or something like that, I forget. Mom of the Year!), so I'm hoping once we move to the actual school that they'll be more descriptive with their allergy restrictions, or offer a list of some safe snacks.
I guess the Pirate Booty is not safe then? Maybe I'll just send pretzels and water every day.
There is a child in Garrett's class who is allergic to oranges, so we don't bring in oranges, but we can still bring in other fruit. Maybe there were a few different fruit allegies, so they just eliminated all fruit? I don't know. Either way, I really feel for the parents and children with allergies!
No, the snack is just for himself. It's only 3 hours a day, so I'm not even sure why they need a snack to begin with, lol! I'm guessing since it's such a short program and it's through AmeriCorps, that they are just being overly conservative.
I'm going to alternate between goldfish and pretzels!
