Yesterday I had to pick up the kids from school then head out of town to do a few things with the church. These two always need a snack after school and from day to day it varies. I decided that before picking them up I would pack a snack since I didn’t know how long we would be gone I would grab a few things, not knowing exactly what they would want I decided to grab enough so they could have enough to hold them over so we wouldnt have to stop and grab anything while we were out. I grabbed two tangerines, an apple, some carrot sticks, some celery with peanut butter on top, some chips and some cookies. I figured that would be enough for the 4 hours I figured it would take and probably enough to share with mom.
I’m sure when we were kids one of our favorite things was playdough. It allows so much imagination and hours of creativity and fun. Playdough is still a favorite artistic medium of kids everywhere. Playdough can be used over and over again if kept in its container, or kids can let their creations dry and keep them.
You can find playdough in almost any store that sells toys. But it’s also very cheap and easy to make. You probably have everything you need to make at least one type of playdough in your kitchen cupboard. Some recipes are even edible. Here are three fun and simple ways to make playdough.
I am sure you have heard most of your life that, experts agree that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After you have been asleep for eight or more hours, your body needs to “break the fast” experienced by sleeping. You want healthy breakfast ideas for busy families. Luckily you have many options to consider.
You might be surprised to hear that complex carbohydrates, like those found in whole wheat breads or oatmeal, are your best bet for healthy breakfasts. You can benefit by eating these first thing in the morning because they fill you up, provide much needed glucose to get the brain and body ready for the day, and they help you maintain a healthy digestive system.
For kids, one of the highlights of the school day is eating lunch with friends. That lunch would be better if it were something that they actually wanted to eat. Here are some ideas for packing brown bag lunches kids will gladly carry to school.
Have you seen the old commercial where the kid looks in his lunch bag each morning and frowns, “Tuna fish again?” it’s hilarious but exemplifies a true fact – kids are visual. They like variety, especially once they reach a certain age. Satisfy that need with a wide array of choices for sandwiches, snacks, and drinks in their lunch bag.
My kids like most, love sandwiches. It is a basic staple of lunch. We start with a sandwich and build it up from there. The only problem, everyone gets tired of the same old sandwiches for lunch after awhile. Here are some ideas for healthy and fun lunch fare.
My kids used to love those lunch snack packs you get at the grocery store. They had sandwiches, drinks, and a snack. Some have pizzas that you could build in place of a sandwich, a drink and snack. After a while, they got expensive, not to mention unhealthy.
