100th Day of School Snack Mix {Foodie Friday}

Any parent of a pre-school or grammar school child is well versed in the 100th day of school celebration.  There are many ways to celebrate such a momentous day in a young child’s life.  One way is with the 100th Day of School Snack Mix.

The idea is that everyone counts out and brings 100 of a small snack type item and it all gets mixed together for a snack mix.  Such a concoction defies all culinary rules and norms and borders on the “suicide” drink mix that 6th grade boys are known for at the soda fountain at the local Cici’s Pizza.

Nathan’s 100th day of school was several weeks ago and his 100 items were Alpha-Bits cereal.  Following is the “recipe” for his class’s 100th Day of School Snack Mix.

100 of each:

Square pretzels
Apple Jacks cereal
Cocoa Puffs cereal
Vanilla wafers
Cookie Crisp cereal
Cheetos
Trix Cereal
Golden Grahams cereal
Skittles candies

Now don’t you wish they would package THAT and sell it in bulk.  Yummy!

We do a snack mix in our three year old preschool class, every year for the 100th day. We include:

M&M's
peanuts
raisins
mini marshmallows
goldfish
jelly beans
pretzels
peanutbutter chips
chocolate chips
cherrios

Then if we have more students we add more items. The kids love it, they love making it and they love eating it.
