Look to the right

The list to the right is hardly a list of kid made, kid approved recipes. Plus cake mix cookies are not something healthy kids should be munching on as back to school snacks.

My kids (6 & 8) love egg salad sandwiches. I'm actually making some tonight to pack for lunch tomorrow.

Just a thought, but maybe if everyone puts one of their ideas into this spot, everyone would be happy. I just checked out the unbelievably Good Fruit Dip. Easy, and kids apparently love it too. :D

If I gave my 3 year old egg salad packed with green olives I think she would wonder what she did to deserve it.

I think these are the lists they are referring to: http://allrecipes.com/HowTo/Healthy-Snacks-for-Kids/detail.aspx

I dont think this is a satisfactory list. And they are not always healthy

My kids are both a little older, but neither one of them likes to pack their own lunch. Things like Pizza Puffs with marinara dipping sauce, Ants-On-A-Log, and BBQ Drumsticks are always a hit. This just doesn't seem like a very good list...

I don't think my three year old would eat anything on this list...provide a better list

Agree with most viewers. My 10 year old daughter would not touch most of these foods on the list.
