Good snacks kids can eat while wearing warm fuzzy gloves:
1. Whole Graham Crackers
2. Carrots
3. Bananas
4. Turkey Sticks
5. Long Cheese Sticks
6. A Big Piece of Refridgerated Left Over Pizza
7.Long Cut Cucumber Spears
8. Long Pretzel Sticks
9. Peanut Butter Crackers
10. Jam and Butter Lefse Rolls
11. Turkey and Cream Cheese Wrapped in Tortillas

Large pieces are easy to hold in mittens & a joy to nibble on. These might be messy but well worth it. Try a kid-temperature beverage to bring ready in a thermos. We have tried various herbal teas with milk, apple cider and cocoa. A warm cup can bring comfort to outdoor adventures & great big smiles.
The first time I skied with Eden behind me we used a few comforts from home. I brought her favorite book and a few little carob chocolate mints. These were handy a half mile into our ski when she wanted to get out of the sled & have me carry her. I sat in the sled beside her, shared a banana, read her a familiar story & cuddled her reassuringly. She seemed happy to know we could stop at anytime and just hang out. We then continued to ski without me carrying her. The little chocolate mint I had stowed in my pocket was a surprise as we were returning to our car. I gave it to a very greatful Eden. Food is a wonderful way to create lasting memories shared & nourish us after all of those calories are burned in the fresh air.
