Kindergarten snacks

We have been talking about Kindergarten a great deal lately and what snacks Katie likes to eat. I realized that there is more involved then simply picking out the food and drink items...Do I send snack size ziploc bags, small containers (BPA free!), brown lunch bags or an actual lunch bag? What about those little snack bags of treats? What can she open by herself? They said a healthy snack...but she will not drink water UGGGH!

We went to target and bought a variety of snacks (cheezits, animal cookies,cereal, Annies gummies, and so much more). I try to eat mostly organic and am slowly switching Katie to healthier snacks. We have practiced opening small containers (BPA free) , ziploc bags and a few pre-packaged foods. I taught Katie the Pinch and Pull Technique for the packages that are tough to open).
I also decided to buy a package of 50 brown lunch bags to send the snacks in. I am determined to draw on them everyday (hearts or smiley faces). My dad did that when I was a kid!
As for the water I may just buy a small reusable water bottle and fill it with half water and half vitamn water...stay tuned!
