We offer a healthy snack, such as fruit or crudités, crackers, bread sticks or pitta breads on a rolling snack basis. This encourages the children to self choose encouraging independence. 

If we are focusing on a theme we will do a snack which reflects this. For example we may do noodles at Chinese New Year or Croissants if we are talking about France.

Snack time gives us an opportunity to talk about personal hygiene and the importance of hand-washing.
