dd1 has to take in a wrapper from a healthy snack she has for a project on good health

[nailpolish]

do you think i should send her in with a banana skin or some orange peel?

Must admit that was the first thought I had when I read the thread title! Otherwise how about pitta packet and empty hummus pot?

Oh definitely a banana skin, that would be hilarious.

lol at the banana skin, i think you should send one in, surely anything that comes in a wrapper (healthy or not) is a convienence food, so full of preservatives.

EXACTLY waterfalls

i honestly cant think of anything healthy, that is considered a 'snack' that also comes in a wrapper

maybe a yoghurt pot, or a small bag that had raisins or nuts in it?

Maybe the tinfoil you store homemade cake in? Or the little pot that had nuts or dried fruit in it?

Probably the orange peel. The banana skin would go all slimy and yuck, which isn't nice for DD1.

Or how about some earth?

i think they are going ot make a big collage or something on the wall with all the wrappers

wonder how many will take in cheesestring wrappers

brown paper bag from the greengrocer?

Would love to see that finished product, there is bound to be some parent that send them in with a crisp packet

Hah! naily that's what I thought when I read thread title.
Yes, send in a banana skin or carrot peelings lol.
I suppose you could send the celophane from a pack of cherry toms

cheese packet then, or a raisin box, or the pack from baby sweetcorn... lots of options but agreet hat the most simple would be fruit peel (shall i send you an old riverford organic fruit box ? LOL)

she also has to take in one fruit or veg to talk about with her group and for them all to taste

its so hard! dd1 herself has suggested the string bag her oranges are in

string bag is a good idea.

i dont think the teacher would be too enamoured sticking a manky old banana skin on her wall

lol

Yep a banana skin or other fruit peeling would be good. Not all packaged foor has preservatives or junk in it though, I found some pouches of pure fruit and veg babyfood today and impulse bought the broccoli, pea and pear one and gave it to my 3 yr old after nursery and he slurped it down!!! (and I promise, there is nothing in it but those three ingredients). It was like a veggie smoothie.

You could be on to something there: re-marketed baby food as veggie smoothies...
