As a kid, my mom would give us two. My boys are only in jk, so I’ve been sending just one, but will likely send two when they’re older. My husband was making their lunches last night (something he does rarely) and was about to put three in each lunch. I was like “hey don’t put three” and he said “what, that’s not enough?” 🙃

I sent my daughter this morning with three. As long as she eats most of everything else I don’t mind sending three. She is in 1st grade

That was what I was going to say depends on the age. My son has always been a good eater so 3 or 4 usually!

did you know fruits are also very sweet & healthier for a growing child’s mind than overly processed junk foods

2-4 .

My partner said to put doughnuts in his snack box 🙆🏼

I buy everything at Costco and cookies always come in a two pack for the most part. If they were the big cookies I would probably just do one but for Oreos two or three sounds good.

I would put 2 cookies in, unless she's getting cookies in her lunch order..
Sometimes, I'll mix it up and give her a small, solid chocolate bar (like a freddo size), but she's 7..

Sometimes I pack Costco's mini muffins (4 in a pack) for their treat with lunch. Not daily but honestly my kids have their daily share of sweets once home so if it's not packed for school best believe it's being had once home!
