One of the hardest parts of parenting is snacks.
Really, I mean it.
Finding good, healthy snacks that kids will actually eat is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
Thankfully, I found a trick for getting my kids to eat those healthy snacks with nary a complaint.
The key?
Make their snack bags into butterflies!
Butterfly Clip Snacks
Admittedly, the butterfly snack bag clips are a much bigger hit with my daughter (also the youngest) than with the teen boys, but I don’t blame them.
However, if we’re on a road trip, they’re the first ones to reach for the adorable snack bags!
Making them is easy.
In fact, your kids can even help you make them!
If they’re not into butterflies, make them into caterpillars or superheroes instead.
The sky is the limit! Have fun!
