Graham's Cracker Box

My boys are always digging my little "plate tent" out of my pantry. These are those little things you get at the dollar store for cook outs to keep the flies off the food. Well I had an idea to make their "healthy snack" fun by leaving it under the tent on the island everyday when they get home. I am at work most of the evening, so this also makes it easy and stress free for my hubby to give them a good snack.

I pick a cute plate, and then put an assortment of snacks on the plate each day. They are doing great with it. I think when kids have too many choices it can be stressful for everyone. So instead of asking them what they want to snack on, and pointing at 5 things in the pantry before they finally agree on the cookies, this is much easier. Try this, it works great for my two sons. They are almost 2 and 4 years old.
