Snack Basket

When it comes to after-school play-dates, we all want our house to be thought of as "fun house."  Research actually shows that having a "fun house" actually helps foster healthy social development and popularity among peers.  It also suggests that having good snacks is big part of having a "fun house."  We love the idea of an after-school snack basket so kids aren't rummaging through the pantries.  Choose a variety of options so there's something for everyone.  You don't have to buy prepackaged preservative packed snacks either.  Create your own baggies of snacks or store in stay-fresh containers.  It seems that the best way to a man's, and child's heart is through the stomach!

Have fresh ideas for kid's snacks?  Please comment and share!
