3's tips

Foods/drinks that we feel are best to send in your child’s lunch:

* sandwiches cut in 1/2 or 1/4
* cut up vegetables and fruits
* crackers
* cheese sticks or cubes
* yogurt eaten with a spoon
* juice boxes
* water in screw top bottles (the squeeze tops leak)
* items in baggies - easy for the kids and food can be sealed and sent home if not eaten

Foods we feel you should avoid sending:

* candy
* Lunchables
* fruit that needs to be cut or peeled
* marshmallows
* food that needs to be heated
* food that needs to be mixed (tuna salad cup)
* Gogurt yogurt
* soft drinks

Ideas for celebrating special occasions:

* cookies
* doughnuts
* doughnut holes
* mini muffins

Some last thoughts:

* Always send a complete change of weather appropriate clothes
* For drop off: the teachers will get the children out on the curb side - parents don’t need to get out of their car
* Children are working on self-help skills, so containers they can open (lunch boxes, plastic containers) are best. They have more success with baggies than tupperware! Please remember spoons and forks if needed.
* Remember to keep clothing simple - It’s hard to make it to the bathroom if there are too many buttons, belts, and bows in the way. Dress for active, sometimes messy activities. Dress for the weather.
* Children don’t need to bring too much! Cubbie space is limited and they carry their own things: don’t weigh them down! (3’s don’t really need adult sized backpacks!)
