Snack List

My kids were forever telling me they were hungry, asking for a snack and another snack and another snack...you get the idea. So I decided to make up a list of what they could have and get for themselves. So many people have told me they like that idea that I thought I'd share it here. Of course, you could modify it to your family's likes/dislikes.

Breakfast (pick 1)
2 pieces of toast with butter and jelly or peanut butter or cream cheese or 1 small spoonful of cinnamon sugar for both pieces	1 bowl of cereal w/milk	1 egg and 1 piece of toast
1 yogurt with 1 piece of fruit	Oatmeal or grits with 1 small squirt of syrup or 1 small spoonful of brown sugar
Snacks (between breakfast and lunch and again between lunch and dinner)
List 1 (pick 1)	List 2 (pick 2)	List 3 (as many as you need)
1 candy	20 Pretzels	Fruit
1 Granola bar or other bars	10 Crackers	Vegetables
1 cup chips or cheezy poofs	1 cup applesauce	Gum (only 2 pieces at a time)
1 muffin	½ cup of peanuts
1 popsicle	2 pieces of cheese
1 package of crackers with cheese or peanut butter in them	2 meat sticks
	½ cup of raisins
	4 dried apricots
	Yogurt or go-gurt
	½ bag popcorn
	15 small rice cakes
	1 big rice cake
	1 hard boiled egg
	1 cup cottage cheese
	½ cup hummus or bean dip
	1 tamale
	1 chicken leg

They do have access to cup and 1/2 cup bowls, so the measuring part was easy. They colors were to correspond to the food pyramid. While I may not agree with it 100%, it's a good starting point for the kids.
