Keep Their Favorite Treats All in One Place

If it feels like your kids have asked for snacks one million times since school let out for summer vacation, that’s because they have. The same kids who can’t survive an entire day of school without snacking every five minutes need a constant source of sustenance during the summer months. Instead of just loading up your fridge and pantry full of kid-friendly snacks, why not try a few food organizers that make everything aesthetically pleasing and easy for kids to find their favorite treats?

Plastic Food Organizers

This set of eight organizers can be used in a variety of ways in your home. You can load up kid-friendly snacks into the containers and place them in the fridge or pantry so kids can grab a snack and go. Another option: Assign one container per child and let that container be their daily snack allowance. Once the snacks are gone, there’s no more snacking.

Cereal Dispenser

If cereal is a breakfast favorite in your home, then these cereal dispensers make self serving easy for little ones. It’s also a great way to save space and ditch the cereal boxes in your pantry. Just put the cereal dispenser on the counter with bowls and spoons, put milk in a smaller container that is easy for kids to pour, and breakfast is served!

Rolling Cart

If you’ve got the space in your kitchen, this rolling cart could be a game changer. Fill up each shelf with snacks for your kids, roll it to a location that is easy for kids to access, and lock the cart so that it stays put. You can even take the snack cart outside when your kids are playing outdoors.

Reusable Labels

Not only do labels make everything look more organized, but they'll also help you and your kids find everything you’ve placed in the snack baskets, containers, and jars. This set of labels comes with 96 reusable labels in a variety of sizes. Plus, you get the chalkboard pen as well.
