I'm looking for a snack for my son to take next week to school on his snack day. He will be 6. It can't be messy and something I can drop off. He loves trains. Has anyone done any cleaver school snacks.
Just a suggestion, but check with your child's teacher about food allergies in the class. I remember being in 1st grade and there was one kid who was allergic to wheat (I feel the pain now since I developed celiac), another who couldn't have peanuts, and one who was allergic to eggs. They could never have snacks when parents brought it in and it really sucked for them. Try to bring something that everyone can eat or maybe an alternative for the kids who can't eat.
I always get the huge cookie in the grocery store and have them write on it. You could
have it decorated with a train. It is large enough for the teacher to cut for around 20
students and he can carry in a grocery bag because it is in a cake plate and cover.
Try to make it an individual snack. Things that have to be cut up, put on a plate or napkin and then passed out are messier and less convenient. If you're going to stay to serve it, then it would be okay though. Same goes with juice. Parents are always sending in stuff without cups, napkins, plates. They send in cakes, but no plastic knives or forks.
My favorite was the Christmas party. The first parent signed up for juice. The sign up sheet clearly stated "Juice for 40". The mom brought in a 32oz bottle. The parent who sent in cups, sent in some leftovers from something else... I believe there were about 15 cups left in the package. Everyone signed up for something. There was the bottle of juice, those 15 cups, a cake (no knife, no plates, no forks, no napkins) and the snacks my husband and I were pulling out of the car... thank goodness we'd gone grocery shopping right before and hadn't finished unloading the car. Other classrooms had better parents, and we were able to borrow some things from them.
You could buy one of those large cookies (mentioned above) and have them draw a train on it with his name or something...
