It is said that the seriousness of life begins with school enrolment. Luckily there is the school cone: toys, stationery for the lesson and of course sweets make it easier for the children to get started. With our suggestions, parents fill the candy bag with healthy sweets.
Gift for first graders: the school cone
Eating calms the nerves: Students know this before the exam, stressed office workers and – with the first day of school – also the ABC shooters. The school bag has to be taken when the first day at the school begins. In addition to school supplies, the content consists of all kinds of delicacies that take the excitement away from the little ones. If you want to get your offspring excited about healthy eating right from the start, don’t fill the school cone with the first chocolate bar that comes along. What is needed is a healthy, balanced mix that provides school beginners with everything they need for learning. Nuts and dried fruits not only provide energy, but also contain valuable nutrients, in contrast to sweets with a high sugar content. Feel free to also pack some hearty snacks for the first day of school. Our nutrition expert will tell you which dishes are suitable as snacks for children.
Tips for a balanced mixture in the school cone
You shouldn’t do without the “snacks” entirely. Because when the other children are happily unpacking chocolate, fruit gums and sweets, your offspring shouldn’t sit by and sulk. The solution: just make the treats yourself! With granola bars, chocolates and cakes made in-house, you have control over the sugar content and can sweeten the treats with natural alternatives. With dried fruit, coconut flakes, applesauce, honey and bananas, you can conjure up really great snacks. One example are our energy balls. You can prepare the dough for popular pastries such as muffins and waffles with sweet vegetables or fruit and “cheer” the kids on a few vitamins. Carrot muffins or banana waffles without sugar taste better and, with a little decoration, look better than any store-bought snack.
Prepare food decoratively for even more radiant children’s eyes
Speaking of dressing up: optics play a major role, especially for children. Shaped fruit or a clever cake decoration makes the little ones shine. Pack the sweets you have made yourself lovingly and spice up the school cone from the outside as well. With colorful paper, fabric, crepe and gift ribbons, each blank school cone can be designed beautifully and, above all, individually. Or you can make a sustainable and natural decoration for the school cone with natural materials. In addition to teaching material, a lunch box with your favorite characters and a matching drinking bottle are suitable as non-edible gifts for boys and girls. You can get inspiration for the content from our lunch break recipes. A special gift for the school cone, but not only for ABC shooters: craft a dream catcher for your child! And if you want to sweeten your school child’s start into school life, prepare our great school enrollment cake for the big day.
