[quote=Anonymous]This is my first experience as a full-time SAHM, to one almost-five-year-old. No camps, no travel; just the two of us, trying not to die of heatstroke.

So let's tackle the easy stuff first, shall we? What sorts of healthy snacks do you keep around the house when your growth-spurting kid is "hungry" every ten minutes, but wants no more than a couple bites?

She likes nuts and fruit, so that's good. Veggies are welcome with proper meals, but she doesn't seem impressed by a snack of raw broccoli and carrot sticks, and I hate to pour [i]too[/i] much ranch dressing into her. I don't like hummus, so I only make it when I entertain. We both like popcorn, and it's fun to make. (I take the lid off for a couple seconds so it can fly around the kitchen.) If given free rein, she would eat PB&J and strawberries pretty much all the time, though she's happy to try new stuff, and doesn't get too fussy when I tell her there is only [this], no PB.

Bonus points for snacks that take a long time to consume and have entertainment value, ie, popcorn. [/quote]
