Snacking is a huge part of your kiddos’ diet as it prevents an unwanted hunger spike that leads to an ultimate meltdown that we so want to avoid. It’s always tough thinking of what snacks to pack for your kids that are healthy yet tantalizing enough for them to want to eat rather than having them reach for a bag of chips or chocs. Little Steps has sourced out these fuss-free, scrumptious and nutritious snack box ideas that you can easily whip up in a jiffy for your little ones. Add a tinge of novelty into your snack boxes – your kids will love it! Time to get creative!
Breakfast foods are always a quick and easy option when packing snacks for your kids. Mix and match breads, sprinkle almonds and berries on oatmeal, or perhaps even slice multigrain waffles into strips to be served with honey yogurt! The variations are endless so have fun while you’re at it!
Cornflakes Dipped Strawberries
Pairing different fruits together to create a multi-colored effect might make fruits and veggies more attractive to your little bubs. Even if it means taking the time to peel, dice, chop, or slice apples, melons, and even kiwis, or whizzing up delish veggie dips, you know your effort won’t be wasted as your kids are getting a power boost with these superfoods!
Who would have thought that food on sticks will be such a hit with kids? Jazz up that sleepy sandwich by cutting up the ingredients into bite-sized pieces and thread them on in no particular order – teensy squares of multigrain bread, ham shavings, cheese, cucumbers and cherry tomato halves. You can even create a fruity kebab with a yogurt dip! Yum!
Go wild and pack in all kinds of nutrient-rich foods in your very own smoothie! Throw in some plain yogurt, add a tinge of apple juice, and a whole bunch of frozen fruits (or maybe a piece of celery just for an added kick), and you’ve got your kids sorted in the antioxidant department. Keep it simple if you know your kids are not too ambitious with mixing fruits and veggies. Couple the smoothie with a wholegrain cranberry muffin and your little one is all set for a treat at snack time in school!
Throw in a whole bunch of different nuts and dried fruits and you’ve got yourself a wholesome trail mix to pack for your kids. Along with fruits and nuts, you can throw in crackers or even cheerios for protein-packed snack that will keep your little ones on-the-go throughout the day!

Whether it’s a full lunch or merely a snack, bento boxes are the fad nowadays, especially with their nifty sections and attractive designs. The sections are further divided into teeny compartments – perfect for little tots who thrive on variety of foods in bite-sized portions. No bento box at home? No worries! You can just apportion different snacks into small-lidded containers. The whole point of a bento box is variety, variety, variety, to keep kiddos interested from the start to the end of their snack.
