Crackers and topping
Toast, crumpets, waffles

I take a choice of fruit to the school every day and one day a week when we go to the library I also take mini rice cakes, breadsticks, melba toast, cheese twists, carrot sticks with humous.

I find children are always starving after school, so I give them things I think will fill them up. Sometimes fruit just doesn't hit the spot!
I'll do:
sandwiches with cucumber & tomatoes
toasted crumpets
cheese on toast
cheese, crackers, veg sticks
houmous with breadsticks & veg sticks
toasted sandwich
then they can have fruit if they say they are still hungry.
I don't provide an evening meal, so need to give something that'll last them till they get home.
