[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks my kids are 3 and 5. They are too young g to be trusted to get their own food. I want to know what they are eating and foster controlled independence. [/quote] I've taught pre-k and now teach kindergarten. Your kids need to develop independence because at school, there is only one teacher and 20+ students. Have them pick out one snack and put it in an easy to reach container. Get some baby fingernail scissors and show them how to cut open a package. My 3 yr old can use a kitchen stool to climb up on a counter, open a cabinet, get out a small bag of popcorn, and cut off the corner to open it.[/quote]
