Thanks to our friends at Kids Activities, we discovered this holy grail of Snack Hacks! These fun, simple and creative ideas will guarantee a smile at snack time!
Get Organized
Have a bin of snacks ready and waiting in the fridge. This is great for portion control and encourages diversity. Kids have to eat the whole bin before it’s replenished. via – Iheartorganizing
Don’t search for your kids cups. Glue magnets to the sides of their cups and your kids can stick cups onto the fridge. When they want a drink they can use the fridge dispenser and put the cup back on the fridge. via – Dayna Made It.
Have your fridge organized so you don’t spend time looking for food or forgetting about a veggie or snack. via – Glamorous Housewife.

Freeze sponges to create a safe, drip-free icepack alternative in a lunchbox. The kids can even use the sponge to clean up their table before and after they are finished eating.
