One of our childrens favorite snacks are roll ups. We make different kinds. All you need to do is take some wheat tortillas and spread a thin layer of reduce fat cream cheese. Sprinkle nuts and dried fruit over the cream cheese. Then you just roll it up. You can also use peanut butter in place of cream cheese.

You don't have to do anything else to these but chill? I might have to try these for my daughter they sound good and cheap.

That sounds good, I don't have any healthy kid snacks beyond fruits and veggies, but I may have to find some stuff like that and get them to help make them as a project when they are here this summer. Is there any that would be more transportable so that they can take them when with their cousins?
