Take your kids to the grocery store and have them assist you in picking out snacks. Try to narrow it down to the healthier choices by comparing nutritional labels.
Pack healthy snacks in your kids backpack or lunchbox for them.
Have healthy snacks set up on the kitchen table for them to easily see.
Allow your child to help you make creative healthy snacks (for example, ants on a log).
Bring out a salad or vegetable for your kids to snack on while dinner is still being prepared.
Make some trail mix using cut fruit, oats, and nuts. You can put it in a plastic Ziploc for your child to keep in their pockets.
