Preschool soccer treats

[mrsg123]

What are you taking? I'll show my age if I admit we used to get orange slices and a Dixie cup of water. The parents on Tuesday brought organic frozen yogurt and Gatorade bottles.

I brought mini bottles of water and those packages of mini muffins.....my kid loathes oranges! I also brought string cheese for the parents that didn't want anything overly processed. I came home with all but 1 string cheese.

We saw parents bring snack packs of crackers and cookies, sliced apples, oranges, and raisins.

Great ideas, thanks! Hadn't thought of cheese.

I'd probably do crackers and maybe fruit. Strawberries are good since you don't need to cut them.
Water or juice to drink.

I might do grapes. The other kids are 5/6 so I think that would work.

My DS's team is 4-5 y/o and everyone brought orange slices plus either water bottles or juice boxes this season.

Things I've seen at tee ball: veggie straws, yogurt tubes, pretzels, sun chips, cupcakes, goldfish; water, Gatorade, koolaid squeezits, juice boxes.

bananas - no prep and easy clean up. Totally portable too. I would do juice boxes too but I make sure to get 100% juice with no dyes etc.

String cheese is an awesome idea that I will have to try next season.

We stuck with bananas and had small gala apples too that I had washed - the kids could eat them in about 6 bites or so.

I plan on doing granola bars and apple slices or bananas and water.

These posts always make me thankful that DD's soccer doesn't do communal treats

I would stress out about allergies and all the potential particulars out there

I coached and I purposefully did not do treats. Why the hell do they need a treat for playing soccer? No wonder we are all so fat.

Ok, rant over, I would do fruit only, and no drinks (don't they all have their water bottles?) but clearly I am a nut, so take that for what it's worth.

Ha! I am not sure why they need it. I did oranges, grapes and water. It was way too hot for cheese.
