At my son's preschool all the parents have to help in the classroom once a month. We are to provide snack. So far no allergies in any of the kids, but I suppose we should still stay away from peanut products. I am just looking for some innovative & cute ideas that will get the kids to maybe try new things. Thanks!

Why not mix up some Cheerios, mini marshmellows, pretzel sticks and goldfish crackers in a bowl. You could put them into individual snack bags or take the bowl to school and let the kids scoop it out with a big spoon.

Other ideas:
Graham crackers and Applesauce or Apple Slices
Animal Cookies and a fruit cup
Tortilla Chips and melted chesse
A fruit and Veggie tray..be sure to bring the ranch
Finger sandwiches cut with cookie cutters.. The teacher could use this as a learning process too.

I have never done this but it sounds really cute.
In a snack size zipper bag put halfed grapes in one side and granola or cereal in the other half. Wrap a pipe cleaner around the middle and curl the ends for a cute butterfly.

You could also make tortilla wraps with cream cheese and diced ham or fruit and package them in chinese take out containers. They sell them at craft stores.

You can try fruit pizzas. You take half a bagel and let the kids spread cream cheese on them. Then add fruit as the toppings. It's super cute if you cut the fruit into "pizza topping" shapes.
