Easy School Snack Idea

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Nature Valley. The opinions and text are all mine.

My oldest is in Pre-K this year and we have snack duty every month for the entire class. Every time it’s our turn I am stumped at what to bring. Our only requirement is that it has to be store bought. This age is all about having fun while learning so I decided to dress up a store bought snack and add a little surprise to snack time. If you are in the same boat as me, you are in luck because I’m including a free printable below so you can make your own too!

EASY SCHOOL SNACK IDEA WITH FREE PRINTABLEThese Nature Valley Gluten Free Nut & Protein Bars make a perfect snack for a group of 4 and 5 year olds (not to mention, this GF momma). I decided to add my own little wrapper that says “I’m Nuts About School”. Get it?! 
Nature Valley GF BarsThe protein bars come in three different flavors, Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate, Salted Carmel Nut, and Peanut/Almond Dark Chocolate. Yum! Some of my absolute favorite combos.

School Snacks

I printed my wrappers on Adhesive Kraft Paper . You don’t have to own a Silhouette to use it. I simply placed the paper in my normal printer and then cut out each wrapper.

EASY SCHOOL SNACKS WITH PRINTABLEOnce all the labels are cut, peel off the backing and wrap the sticker around each bar!

    These are adorable… and we love Nature Valley bars at our house!

    I’m surprised that there are still schools out there that allow peanut products. I have a hard time finding good snacks to send to school for my nut loving crew :)

      Our pre-school is really small and every year they do a survey to see if anyone has peanut allergies. If no one does than they allow peanut products. So far we’ve lucked out with no major allergies at the school!
