I have a cupboard (floor level) that I put un-refrigerated snacks in (whole grain crackers and pretzals, puffed cereals) that my toddler can self-serve with (sometimes he brings the bag to me for opening). Great idea to have some refrigerated ones too, esp. for older kids.Betsy Escandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13598482569526345086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311510903511411789.post-8301339334270196892010-06-02T16:57:18.028-04:002010-06-02T16:57:18.028-04:00Hi April!
The snack packs you see are called Easy...Hi April!<br /><br />The snack packs you see are called Easy Lunchboxes, and are hard plastic and bigger than Lunchables containers. They come in 4-packs, each with a different color lid, so it's easy for the kids to tell them apart. They're really neat and available at http://www.easylunchboxes.com/index.htm<br /><br />I pack one each day for each kid...usually, I put five snacks in there. They sit neatly on top of each other in the fridge. The kids go through them as they desire each day. I pop them in the dishwasher after dinner and make fresh snack packs while preparing breakfast. My kids are 6 & 11 and it works wonderfully for them. They like the freedom it gives them, and I like that they are only free to choose my pre-approved snacks. I don't include after dinner snacks, because that's usually a sweet of some sort and we eat it together at the table. The snack packs are solely for daytime/playtime. I hope that helps. :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08918988529379477313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311510903511411789.post-55807713348034432282010-06-02T16:43:29.387-04:002010-06-02T16:43:29.387-04:00So, do you prepare a couple of these for the kids ...So, do you prepare a couple of these for the kids for the day and they eat a little and put it back in the fridge or are they eating this entire snack pack in one sitting and there are others waiting?<br /><br />Also, are you using the little lunchable plastic trays or what are you using? I'm curious!<br /><br />I have a 10 and a 5 year old and I'd love to use this with them...**** April ****https://www.blogger.com/profile/08306149618224290028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311510903511411789.post-12773440614931289002010-06-02T16:19:45.149-04:002010-06-02T16:19:45.149-04:00I love this idea!I love this idea!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03560345970551046142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311510903511411789.post-58278478022569868312010-06-02T15:21:01.728-04:002010-06-02T15:21:01.728-04:00I really like those snack packs.

However, sometimes the companies require us to add entries about subscribing to their site, follow them on twitter, etc. or you can't provide a giveaway.
