When my kids were younger I tried to have some interesting after school snacks available to them so they would be excited to get home and tell me all about their day.
If you have been thinking about it too, then here are some ideas:
First, have a fun snack. If you have the same old boring, unhealthy snack every day it is less likely your child will look forward to coming home and talking to you about their day. If a new fun snack is expected then they won’t be able to resist coming home for a the exciting snack and maybe a conversation too!
Fun After School Snack Ideas:
Vegetable Flowers with Homemade Ranch Dip ~ FamilyFun
Sugar Snaps with Honey-Mustard Dip ~ FamilyFun
Cranberry Nut Snack Mix ~ FamilyFun
Apple Bites ~ FamilyFun
Three Rice Mice ~ FamilyFun
Mr. Tomato Head ~ FamilyFun
Next, talk to your child while they are enjoying their after school snack.
Here are few questions to get everyone talking?
- What did you do at recess?
- Who got in trouble today?
- Who did something nice for someone today?
- What did they serve for lunch today?
- What happened on the bus today?
- What did you learn today in school?
- Was the best part of the day?
- How does this school snack rank from 1 to 10?
Then scrap some of the after school snack recipes, take a photo of the the treat and your child enjoying it, also scrap the recipe!
It will be fun for you to scrap the memories you have made with all the fun after school snacks!
Also, include some of the questions and answers in the scrapbook pages too!
Have a nice day and enjoy the special time with your children!

PS. For Working Parents
Maybe “If you can’t be home after school with your children, then plan ahead and have a fun snack waiting for them. Have a pencil and a question written out on the paper for them. Such as “ What was you favorite thing at school today?” Then scrapbook their handwritten answers and cherish them for years to come.”
