What after-school foods do you prepare when your little ones come home from school? Something that is quick, easy, and doesn’t create a mess?
fish fingers, waffles, smiles, pizza fingers, mashed potato, chicken nuggets, chips, jacket potatoes
cheese on toast, tortilla wraps, sandwiches
or i just make some roti, rice or pasta before collecting them

I have this totally cool apple slicer, you press it down on top of the apple and it takes out the core and makes 8 perfect apple wedges. Put out some peanut butter for dippiing and its a healthy snack.
also raw veggies with ranch dressing to dip - carrots, celery, broccoli.
My kids dont do this every day, of course they want the "good stuff" lol but I try....

Tea and biscuits!
Re: Quick after-school food ideas for kids
Currently my daughter gets home around 11:15 am. She usually eats a little breakfast before she leaves at 8 am so she's starving when she gets home.
So, we usually have mac & cheese or pasta with marinara sauce or chinese type noodles or french toast.
Then she has a lunch around 2 pm, roti salan or rice. Or sometimes just fruits and veggies & dip depending on how much she ate earlier.

Make toast and slice them into soldiers. Have a yogurt based dip to go with it. You could mix pureed spinach with the yogurt, or chopped tomatoes.
Re: Quick after-school food ideas for kids
Usually we would have toast with butter and jam on it, with a cup of tea when got home from school, but the BEST thing was when we got home from school and mammy pappa had gone out, so on the kitchen counter mam had left salad sandwiches with packets of crisps and some chocolate chip cookies. (Now that was worth being neglected for!)
