It’s half term and my 11 year old wants to rustle up some snacks herself. What sort of snacks do people buy for their 11-13 year old kids to make?

Quick cook pasta and the inevitable pot noodle have made an appearance.

Crackers and cheese
Tomato soup and bread
Peanut butter toast
Crumpets
Ham sandwich
Veg and hummus is ds2s snack of choice

I wouldn't be happy with them cooking or heating up food without adult supervision due to the risk of them burning themselves or <worse> causing a fire. But they can make sandwiches with pre-sliced cheese, peanut butter etc, Tortilla chips & dips.

Mine just eat cereal (shredded wheat, Weetabix, bran flakes etc...)

What does she like and any diet/weight issues?

Toast, sandwiches, cereal.
Fruits for fruit salad, with cream if needed
Cheese cubes to dip in seeds
Nuts and dried fruit
Hummus and cucumber/carrot sticks
