Party Platter for snacks

Mom Hack

Transform snack time into a fun picnic with large party platters.

You may be able to grab these at a dollar store for an affordable price.

Fill with a Variety of Snacks:

  • Healthy Choices: Fill with fruits, veggies, cheese cubes, and whole grain crackers.

  • Themed Snacks: Tailor the snacks to a theme—like a rainbow platter with colorful fruits and veggies.

  • Interactive Snacks: Include dips like hummus or yogurt for added fun.

Personalize for Your Kids:

  • Name Tags: Add cute name tags to each compartment.

  • Fun Shapes: Use cookie cutters to make fun shapes out of fruits and sandwiches.

(Which, total side note. These are my favorite labels for all things kids.)

Make it a Picnic:

  • Location: Set up a picnic area in your backyard or living room.

  • Decor: Add a picnic blanket, some pillows, and a few toys to create a cozy space.

  • Music: Play some fun background music to enhance the experience.

Splurge on your trip, not your travel wardrobe

Quince believes that quality should never be a luxury, with premium apparel, accessories, and luggage all priced at 50-80% less than competitors.
