Prepackaged, healthy preschool snack?

klondikebar

I have snack twice next month for preschool. I've done snacks at schools before, but we were always allowed to bring in something homemade. The preschool requires that it be store bought, prepackaged and healthy.

I'll just pick up a box of snacks in the flying pig and unicorn aisle.

I assume they just don't want sweets like donuts or chocolate. I saw Halloween snack bags at Target that were pumpkin pretzels and Annie's bunnies.

Is that ok?

Apple slices?  Raisins?

DS loves Annie's Bunnies and I have brought the snack packs to his school for various parties. I've also done apple sauce packs, dried fruit, snap pea bags, bananas, cheddar/jack cheese sticks and wheat crackers.

Bananas, those prepackaged apple slices, whole grain granola bars, mini-yogurts

I forgot about raisins, duh! Thanks.

They said no fruit unless prepacked or I'd cut fruit up myself to bring in. I know they have prepackages apples, but they taste nasty IMO.

How about cheese sticks (or those smaller cheese square things they sell now) and a whole wheat cracker? DS really likes Kashi pita chips. 

Or maybe Kashi cereal bars (or Trader Joe's - they have organic ones for $1.99)

Could you do those yogurt raisins? Are those considered healthy enough? They're a little yummier than plain raisins. Or freeze dried fruit packages, maybe? They have those Disney ones they sell at BRU and Walmart.

I forgot to mention that we can't do cheese due to a milk sensitivity. They just said no milk, yogurt or cheese. We can bring bring in items made with milk though.

At least our preschool lets us bring fruit! Sheesh! I'd do yogurt, cheese sticks, raisins, crackers, apple slices, those things with melon and such cut up already, baby carrots. Would small berries count or do they have to be literally individually wrapped?

We are not allowed to touch the food. I thought I actually heard it wrong at first.

I just spoke with another parent. We cannot buy a large bag of carrots and break it down into snack-sized bags. It has to be prepackaged into correct portions. We are also not allowed to bring in a one bag and have the teacher break it down into individual servings.

I think I'll just do the bunnies and raisins. This is too complicated. lol

Annie's Bunnies are a huge hit here.  Cheese sticks?

MrsGoodkat

Can you get the pre-packaged apple slices? Or the veggie and dip snack packs (that are kind of like those Handi-Snack cheese and cracker things, except healthy. lol)

Single-serving apple slices.
