It's almost Back to School time here in South Florida. We are about three weeks from the big day. I wanted to do something special for the kids to celebrate but I didn't want to have a huge party. I wanted something simple, featuring their favorite kid's snacks. I thought and thought and came up with a Back to School Snack Station!!
I wanted to get the kids excited for going back to school, especially Adrian who is dreading going back. I took him to Walmart to pick some out some fun snacks. I asked him to pick out snacks that were "after-school" type snacks that he enjoys.
He loves cheese & pepperoni Bagel Bites and the Delimex chicken & cheese Taquitos so we got those. He also grabbed cookies because no snack station is complete with cookies!
Then he was off to have some fun and I started setting up my snack station. I created a banner, food cards and labels. I also went around the house and grabbed as many school supplies as I could find. While I was setting up my station, I put the bagel bites and chicken taquitos in the oven. These are such easy-to-make snacks to have on hand, especially for after school!
Once I had everything I needed, I set up my station. I kept it to a school color theme of red, yellow and black. I used pencils, crayons, composition books and of course, apples! Nothing says school like apples!!
I set out the cheese & pepperoni Bagel Bites. Those are Adrian's favorite.
These Chichen and Cheese Taquitos are delicious. We may or may not have made a second batch!!
No snack station is complete without milk and cookies!
When Adrian came in from playing asking for a snack, my station was ready. He grabbed some snacks and on to relaxing he went! Oh and just in case you are wondering, he's a tad bit more excited for school now so my snack station worked wonderfully!!!
Love the snack station idea? Well guess what? I have FREE printables for you to download! Hope you have as much fun with these as I did!!
