I used to dread my turn for what's become a ritual in many preschools and elementary schools -- sending in snacks for the whole class. For school newbies, think of it as your snack dilemma for playdates times ten. It's hard enough to find something one kid will eat, let alone 20 -- each with his own food eccentricity. Then there are a slew of school rules and sometimes pressure from other moms who think your choices are too healthy or even not healthy enough. Still, by mid-year I found a groove. By the end, I was rockin'. Share in my snack roster.

In so many food suggestions for children they include peanut butter. The majority of daycares and schools do not allow peanut butter due to severe allergies. Parents need to keep this in mind. Although peanut butter is a delicious, nutricious snack, it cannot be sent with children to school.

These are clever, but don't most schools have a "pre-packaged" policy when it comes to snacks these days? That wipes out most of these ideas.

I hate the fact that I have to click Next. Can't you put it all on one page or something? Very annoying. All your articles that have more than one page has this issue and it's not very easy or nice on the iPad.

A couple of these seem to have mass kid appeal... but I mostly just envision a lot of wasted food going into the trash.
