Whether it is your week for share-a-snack at school, or you are looking to tide over tiny tummies until dinner—snack attacks can leave you starved for ideas. If your crew craves something more creative than a bag of goldfish, satisfy small stomachs with a playful presentation. Here are eight simple solutions that take snacks from drab to fab—and might even introduce some new flavors to the mix.

A Mixed Bag

 Sharing is caring—but when it comes to snack time—it is all about individual packaging. We love this idea from The Weekend Homemaker that employs clothespins to create individual butterfly bags. Fill with a variety of combinations for more balanced grazing on-the-go. Want extra credit? Perfectly portioned for preschoolers, these snack sacks will delight little learners at school, who can help count out the contents for added fun.

We are hungry for your “feed” back! What do you serve for snack? Tell us below!
