Snacking in our house has always had a schedule just like other meal times. They get their snack at 3:30 and they can have 3 to 4 items and that is it. They usually have the same things. They can choose between Pombears, yoyos, apple & pear slices (well, not recently...), mini bags of party rings or jammie dodgers, mini bags of ritz crackers, toast or a small bag of cheese cubes.
