Snack wheel
Twenty-four snacks you can put together in five minutes, mostly from what is already in the kitchen. Kids like spinning for it, which ends the “can I have chips” debate.

The after-school snack routine
- With your child, go through the list once and delete anything they will not eat or you do not keep in the house.
- Use weights to tilt the balance, not rules: “Grapes *2”, “Hummus and carrots *2”, “Chips and salsa” at the normal one.
- Your child spins when they get home. The wheel decides, so there is nothing to argue with you about.
- Once a week, let them add one new snack of their choice to the list.
Ideas for other snack times
- Study breaks: every 45 minutes of homework or revision, one spin and a ten-minute break.
- Movie night: make a short wheel of popcorn, nachos, pretzels and frozen grapes and spin once for the whole family.
- Sports bag: bananas, granola bars, pretzels and orange slices travel well. Save just those as “Game day” in My wheels.
Allergies and school rules
Many schools and clubs are nut-free. If the snack is going in a school bag, give “Apple and peanut butter” and “Trail mix” a “*0” so they stay on the list for home but never land for school. Whole grapes should be cut lengthwise for toddlers and young children, as they are a choking risk.
Questions and answers
Are these healthy snacks?
Most are fruit, vegetables, dairy, eggs or whole grains, with a few treats like chips and nachos. Change the weights to suit your house rather than deleting the treats; kids accept a fair wheel more easily than a ban.
Can my kids make their own snack wheel?
Yes. Clear the list and let them type the snacks they want, then you agree the final list together. Save it in My wheels under their name.
