Packing snack and lunch for Kindergartner?
DD starts K in the fall. I want to pack her food for school. They will have snack at 11am and lunch at 1pm.
I'm planning to pack her lunchbox with food and a drink for lunch. Got that covered.
How should I pack a snack? Separate from lunch? Do I pack a separate drink for snack?
Any snack suggestions? I have a feeling goldfish aren't going to cut it anymore.

Re: Packing snack and lunch for Kindergartner?
They asked that we send snack separate. I put it in a brown bag, looking back I should have just bought a small reusable snack bag.
I send in water, chocolate almond milk, or a drinkable yogurt. With that I send graham crackers, goldfish, pretzels, fruit, homemade muffin, sun chips, pirate's booty, etc...

DD has to keep snack and lunch separate.
She usually throws her snack and drink in her backpack.

Snack I put in the front pocket of back pack. It is a juice box, or bottle of water and a cheese stick, or a hundred calorie pack of some sort or a yogurt.

Re: Packing snack and lunch for Kindergartner?
Snack and lunch separate. My DD is in Lindy and had the same snack & lunch time. She is always so hungry so I give her a big snack & lunch. I send her with a separate drink for snack & lunch.
Her snack today was a small apple, cheese stick and mini bag of pretzels & water. Lunch was 2 hard-boiled eggs (pre-peeled & baggied), wheat ritz crackers, cut up raw veggies & a push up yogurt & water.
ETA: My DD likes to have more than one thing at snack. Instead of just goldfish maybe you could do a fruit or push up yogurt. Other snacks that I send her with are cereal bar & fruit, pretzels & cheese, Jammy Sammy & apple, hard boiled egg & oranges, etc.

Re: Packing snack and lunch for Kindergartner?
You should see what our teacher says. When my son started K, the teacher requested that he had to have his snack packed separately from lunch in a brown paper bag labelled with his name and the word "snack" everyday. Drink could only be bottled water (small bottles - must be water snack is in class not cafeteria and they don't want sticky messes from juice spills - from what I hear - not sure if that is true). Snack was to be a healthy snack. My son was on a food boycott back then and would only take small bags of pretzels (on occasion goldfish or cheese crackers or ritz crackers). He is in first grade now and still takes the same snack everyday (creature of habit). The snack has to be either fruit or something already packaged this year since he has many kids with food allergies in his class.

Re: Packing snack and lunch for Kindergartner?
DD gets a snack time and the teacher requested she brings it in a seperate bag, other than her lunchbox.
The teacher asked the kids to bring a healthy snack and drink. I usually pack a snack and drink that can be kept at room temperature so no need for an ice pack or anything ....
(Daily, I pack DD lunch in her lunchbox with a drink and a small snack to have during lunch time, in her lunch box with an ice pack. )
hope this helps!

Re: Packing snack and lunch for Kindergartner?
in the beginning of the year I got small cooler bags embroidered with her name and one that said "amelia's snack" which the teacher complimented me on. She always knew even before she could read that the dark blue cooler bag was lunch and the light blue was snack. I am terrible at remembering things like labeling a brown paper sack everyday so this makes it easy and I never forget to pack anything.
For us, snack has to be healthy too, but I try to put extra snacks in. She eats lunch at 10am (crazy, right!?) with the rest of K and snack is at 2pm. So I do a light lunch like yogurt and milk box and then snack is ritz crackers, or big bag of goldfish etc w. water bottle to hold her over until she gets home.
Come 3:25 when shes off the bus, she is starving!

Where did you buy that? I would love to get something like this for next year.
