How about peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, chips, carrott/celery sticks, sliced apples, cookie.
I would suggest peanut butter and jelly finger sandwiches, but with peanut allergies as they are, those would probably be banned. Perhaps little ham or turkey sandwiches (cut crusts off bread and slice each sandwich into three strips). Slice apples and serve with caramel dip. Chicken strips or nuggets with chips. Pizza that has been sliced into strips instead of wedges, rice krispie treats.
corn dogs, mini pizzas, assorted sandwiches cut into fun shapes, frozen grapes, cookies and frosting so they can decorate the cookies themselves (i give em popsicle sticks to use to spread the frosting). good luck!!
veggies and ranch dressing.
Well they aren’t really “little kids” anymore when they are in the 6ht grade.
Any sliced fresh fruit or veggies with ranch, hummus and caramel etc… dips. Some chips and crackers. Deviled eggs, roll some deli meats up, so dinner rolls to make mini sandwiches.
cheese tray with swiss, cheddar, bleu, american, gouda, etc.
tomatoes and mozzarella, caprese
little corner sandwiches
pizza bites and bagel bites
mini burritos or quesedillas
cookies and mini eclairs
crackers, chips
nuts…peanuts, cashews, pecans, etc
dried fruit bowl…pineapple, apricots, craisins, raisins, plums, etc
pretzels! and pretzel sticks!
trail mix with pretzels, nuts, m&ms, fruit pieces, raisins
chex mix and cheez its are good 2
packaged cookies…oreos, nutter butters, milanos, chips ahoy
candy!!! gummy bears and worms, twizzlers, licorice, CHOCOLATE, skittles, mini chocolate bars, mike&ikes, lots more….
small slices of cake…cheesecake, chocolate, fruit tarts, etc
lil smokies and dipping sauce
finger sandwiches
mozzarella sticks
