After school is over, my kids are cranky and tired. It’s that witching hour that gets us all. It’s the end of the day for me too which means I’m not always at my best either. I’ve found that at this point, nothing quite does the trick to boost moods and energy like a great, healthy snack. Nothing better than a yummy and filling snack to keep our energy up until dinner. Today’s craft is something for the parents disguised as something for the kids because it will make both happy! A happy kid is a happy parent, right? Enter: After School Snack Place Cards.
