Grab-n-Go Snack Stashes

01/04/12 - I couldn't help but LOVE this idea. Much better than the kids using the drawers to climb up to the  top of the counter to get some sugary snack that's not all that great.  Here were just a few ideas that I saw:

Grab-and-Go Snack Stashes 

Set up these self-serve stations so kids never again have to plead, "Mom...?" when a snack attack hits.

• Pantry Snack Station

• Fish-shaped crackers
• Kids' mix: Cheerios, raisins, almonds, pretzels, and chocolate chips
• Fruit leathers
• Graham crackers
• Pretzels
• Cheerios
• Almonds/Peanuts
• Raisins or other dried fruits

Refrigerator Snack Station

• Jar of peanut butter 
• String cheese
• Yogurt
• Grapes
• Assorted veggies—baby-cut carrots, celery sticks, pepper slices—in plastic bags
• Orange segments
• Lunch-meat roll-ups (like turkey-and-Swiss or ham-and-Cheddar)
• Tub of hummus/ranch (for dipping)
