Easy after school snack ideas

[MumOfBoys16]

My 4 year old started school in Sept and is starving when he gets home. I hear constant calls of I want something to eeeaattttt! What do you give that's not too much prep??

Houmous, crackers, chopped apples and carrots, bits of cheese.

I offer a sandwich; hot cross bun, banana, biscuits, ice cream, apple, crackers, or sometimes I give dinner super early and then a snack at 6ish

I give a full dinner as soon as DC gets home, then he can have as many snacks as he wants. It requires more effort on my part in terms of having a near ready dinner on arrival but it means DC eating less snacks.

I try and give them a dinner too.
Decent amount of veg and potatoes (they take a packed lunch so are glad of something warm)

I always give a snack in the car on the way home. Something quick and easy and filling - piece of fresh bread&butter; banana; bun that kind of thing.

Dinner here too around 4 so i know he is super hungry and will eat it. If i give snacks he wont much dinner.

Snack on the way home here. Cereal bar, apple, nuts, cheese string etc. Dinner is fairly late around 6 so they will eat both no problem.

Malt loaf,
Cheese or houmous on crackers or pitta bread,
Crumpet,
Fruit,
Yoghurt,
Cereal bar (occasionally useful if not at home),
Rice cake,
1/2 scone with butter and strawberries,
Left over pizza slice,
Ham, jam, chicken or cheese wrap,
Popcorn,
Vegetable sticks.

I used to give dinner straightaway...in fact we lived so close to the school, I'd keep it warm in the oven, dash out to pick him up and as soon as we got in I served it up!

Fruit kebabs
Bagel with cheese spread
Popcorn
Fruit scones
Cheese scones (i make a batch and freeze)

Soreen, yoghurt tube, banana, crackers and cheese, carrot sticks or bread sticks with hummus, apple slices, raisins, rice cake with soft cheese, mini cheddars, pitta bread with hummus

Ours has his tea as soon as he gets in, as he is always hungry and it's better that he's full in one hit rather than, I'm still hungry, I'm still hungry.
Then he can have snacks when he wants and then supper.

Mine have cereal

Sausage rolls
Pizza
Cornish pasty
Fruit
Sandwiches

As long as no nut allergies - what about apple slices and peanut butter. Or corn/rice cakes with peanut butter?

Thank you, some great ideas here 😊
