Try things that they can dip. I have found it works wonders. I always after going grocery shopping chop up my veggies for the week. The kids can dip that into dip that I make from taking ranch dried dressing and mix it with sour cream. They love it. You could also give some peanut butter to dip in the celery. I also have cubed or string cheese and crackers. Yogurt works well too.(If you don't think that is filling enough you could give graham crackers to dip in it). You could also get trail mix and put it in individual baggies so they could grab that. There are many kinds available.

Fruit there is plenty of it about. I used to have a jam buttie (sandwich) but I don't think that is PC now. It's a question of degree, total bans are a bit extreme as are variations of it. If they are very active in the garden and round about where you live rushing round to friends etc. I do not think it much matters just as long as they do not put on too much weight and of course they eat their dinner at 18;00 At that age they will burn up anything you give them if they are active

I alternate what I give to avoid the boredom. So I do give sweets, but also yoghurt one day, fruit another, cheese and crackers another. As long as they get a balance, and don't spoil their appetite for dinner, give them a little of what they fancy!

If you have time cook stewed apple (Bramley's and no added sugar).My boys used to love that and so do my grandsons - and they can have it hot or cold with milk or yoghurt on.
Be creative - and don't forget children like the look of food as well as the taste so think about presentation - special dishes/bowls for their after school treat different from their breakfast bowls and *colour*! - add a cherry to grapefruit,pineapple etc.
Good luck!
Joan.

Yea mine are the same. try a box of tesco party mix or nibble something like that.
My lot also enjoy dry cereal, like Cheerios straight from the box. Just make sure they know if they drop any on the floor they'll have to clean it up.

My Mum used to do a little plate of 'nibbles' for me. A chopped up apple, some cubes of cheese, a couple of glacier cherries and raisins with a glass of milk.

Cheese, crackers, fruit chopped, veggies chopped..even just a banana could be quite filling until dinner.

Nuts, cookies, crackers. Pack them some boxed fruit juice too. If they won't drink juice at room temperature, get them UHT chocolate milk. This doesn't spoil because it's UHT.
Stay away from cheese -- it spoils, esp. in warm weather.
As a kid, I didn't like sandwiches because they went dry, or went soggy.
