With the start of the new school year approaching, I know many of you might be thinking about what to have on hand for the ever important after-school snack!
When the school bell rings it’s been a few hours since lunch, yet dinner is still an hour or two away. The kids (and maybe even mom!) need a little something to tide them over and stop them from getting hangry!
All of these ideas are easy and can be made ahead of time or quickly made once the kids hop off the bus! I hope this list inspires you with some fun ideas for your children and help make the time between school and dinner a little bit tastier!
