(Also, Tiny Teddies are the same thing as Teddy Grahams.) Thanks for this list, Claire... It's great to have some extra ideas to choose from. I've been trying to eat healthier, and this is a good snack for anyone, young & old, because you can adjust it to wants/needs/occasions.

I think Andi's comments above regarding nuts are worth noting, and I like her suggestion to use reusable containers.

One we like has golden grahams, peanuts, M&M's, banana chips and raisins. My husband's mom always has a large container of trail mix on her counter. I do this for my kids quite a bit.

They can be re-used and cut down on the amount of rubbish produced. Also watch out for all those nuts and stuff with so many kids having allergies these days. They don't allow ANY nuts at our kinder and creche even when there are no allergic children attending.
