Dina Deleasa Instagram – You know it’s summer when your kids are asking for a snack every 10 minutes , right?!
Now I know a slow motion, artfully arranged snack board isn’t totally realistic but here are some ideas that are:
* Shop in themes- to avoid same snack fatigue I try to rotate what we have in the house. What helps me is to pick a theme. Like I did here with the island-ish theme. It helps your budget by not buying copious amounts of random snacks. Also can help encourage your little to try new things.
* Snack Basket or Bin- I have a drawer feature on my fridge where Siena can open it and choose what she wants. If you do not have this try talking a big plate or basket and putting pre approved snacks on it that are good for grab and go. The snack board also helps during play dates!
* Snack Timer- I set an alarm for snack times that are similar to what her school schedule was. When we hear the alarm that’s when we take a break, not every ten minutes lol. I will say this works better for younger kids, I feel like older ones should be able to regulate their snack times.
* No snacks after 4pm and even 3:30 if I can help it. I find snacks after those times means a struggle at dinner
Take all of this advice with a grain of salt as they say. You know the rhythm of your family, the needs of your kiddos. Set your snack rules and habits accordingly, what works for me may not work for you. However, some kind of system may save you from going 🤪
