Aim to include 1-2 food groups for balance and to keep the kids satisfied until the next meal.
Trust the kids to eat as much as they need to fill their hunger cues.
Remember that it's okay to keep things simple. You don't have to make snacks from scratch all the time!
Rotate through favorites to expose the kids to a range of nutrients.
Feel free to share this list with your preschool or daycare or parents association if you share snack duty with other families.
