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.

Tots like to feel like they are in charge. And while a parking lot might not be the best place to exercise their newly found free will, snack time is a perfect time for them to enjoy their independence. Re-purpose a muffin tin or ice cube tray and create a smorgasbord of snacks for them to pick and choose. Be sure to mix in their favorites with healthier options so they can explore and experiment with new foods as they nibble. We like how the brilliant, blogger mom from Learn with Jenny fills up one tray with family favorites so they everyone can enjoy the feeding frenzy.

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