How you can give your kids the after-school lift they need to keep them happy and energized for the rest of the day?

Your children come home from a full day at school with so much still to do:  homework, reading, soccer practice, t-ball games, piano practice, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts… The list can seem endless. 

We all know what it’s like to hit that mid-afternoon slump.  It’s especially demanding for your kids.  The transition between the two worlds of school and home can be a big challenge.  Sometimes a child comes home grumpy and irritable, and it’s all downhill from there.  You’ve heard it before: "I’m tired."  "I don’t want to do my homework!"  "I don’t want to go to softball practice."  "I’m hungry." "What’s to eat around here?"

Don’t you wish you had a magic answer to this dilemma?

After School Snacks comes to your rescue!

This easy-to-use program helps you provide

• An easy, comforting routine to help your kids transition from school to home.  Give your child time to switch gears and prepare for the rest of the day.
   

• A few minutes each day dedicated to enjoying time together. Enjoy valuable, constructive time with your child every day. 
   

• An energy booster to bridge that long gap from lunch to dinner. Relieve the hunger and energize your child after a long day at school.
   

• An activity to look forward to every day. Have some creative fun together!

After School Snacks helps your child reconnect with you and home; plus get the needed energy to go on with the day.

We all know that food is fuel, and your child is running low after school.  Of course, it’s more than just the food.  It’s also about creativity and fun. After School Snacks contains over 60 recipes and variations that provide an almost endless supply of creative snacks.

"Creative?" you might ask.  Yes, creative.  I’ve found that my children respond better to something that has a funky name or is an entirely new combination of ingredients.  Just naming a snack "The Snack of Champions" was enough to make my picky six-year old enthusiastic.  And there’s fun.  How about building pretzel stick log houses, for example? Or creating ferocious bagel critters?

Plus, most of the snacks are healthy, and ALL are delicious.  (I say "most" are healthy because there are some occasions that are cause for celebration and a little splurge.  I like a little chocolate myself every now and then!)

What do I know?

Well, first and foremost, I’m a mom.  I’ve been mom for many years, and while that doesn’t make me an expert parent (I’m still trying!), it has given me lots of opportunities to experiment and try new things.

I’ve been doing the After School Snack thing for six years, and it’s been hugely successful.  I’ve given it to other parents, and THEY have found it to be effective in their homes.  Even my homeschooling friends use it – their kids need snacks, energy, and a chance to transition just like kids who go to school outside the home.

What’s so special about After School Snacks?

• It’s easy and quick.  You’ll spend your time with your children, not devising what new thing to make each day.
   

• Recipes are short and simple.  You save time and effort because there are no confusing directions or complicated recipes.
   

• There’s no complicated planning. With just a few staple ingredients, you have enough on hand to make snacks for a dozen days.
   

• It encourages healthy eating. You know that can sometimes feel like an uphill battle.  After School Snacks is in your corner.
   

• You can almost put yourself on autopilot.  Adults get tired too! You don’t have to think up snack ideas every day because they’re right there for you.
   

• It’s a handy guide for other caregivers.  You can give it to your babysitters, nannies, and grandmas.  Anyone can use After School Snacks to easily prepare good healthy snacks for your children.
   

• If encourages variety.  Kids might SAY they want marshmallows every day, but we’re not fooled.
   

• It’s a fun time! My kids are always looking forward to what I might create.  As a matter of fact, my daughter asks me, "What’s for snack today" every day on the way home from the bus stop.  Luckily, I always have an answer!  And, with many of the snacks, the kids are encouraged to help with the creation.

I use After School Snacks every day, and I've asked my babysitter who comes on Mondays and Thursdays to use it as well.  This way, I know that my kids are getting healthy snacks, even if I'm not the one fixing them. My kids enjoy looking through the book and picking their snack for the day.  - D in Maryland

When I need an idea, I want to be able to go right to the place I know I’ll find it.  This book contains almost 50 recipes, and when you make variations by using different kinds of fruit, cheese, breads, and other ingredients, the possibilities seem almost endless.  The recipes are so quick and easy that you could even give all of your little “individuals” different things at the same time without that “I’m tired of making four different meals just because nobody likes the same thing” feeling.  -a Mom in Maryland
