that will have Kids

to READ more!
Nowadays it seems like every
restaurant has come up with great food & wine pairings on their menu,
right? Many even offer the latest lager & ale pairings with their menu choices, too! Sooooo, why should grown-ups have all
the fun?? Who doesn’t love curling up
with a good book and a yummy snack? Whether it’s with your own kids or your
students in the classroom, snacking & reading GO TOGETHER like, well, cheese
& crackers! They’re always a hit! (And can we PLEASE suspend reality for a
moment & pretend that food issues don’t exist? Yep, no food allergies, gluten
problems, GMO fears, organic-only, or nut allergies in our imaginary book/snack
world)…As for me I always order EXTRA gluten! So, with no restrictions on snacking choices, here are my nominations for 10 yummy children’s Book and Snack
pairings! I have a feeling this will be the first of many sets that I can come
up with! If you have any suggestions, I’d love to hear them in the comments
below! I will even mention you and/or your TPT store name in the next post! J Thanks for stopping by, now head off to the library & the
grocery store!

Many of you already saw my first pairing idea on my INSTAGRAM feed, from 7/17! I love the book Chicka
Chicka Boom Boom…and this week in Costco I saw a new snack called Boom Chicka Pop! For those of you who are kettle corn fans, this
is sure to be a winning combo!

The Snowy Day would
be perfect with Hostess Snowballs (or even macaroons topped with coconut!) that
we could pretend was fluffy snow! Remember these?

The BFG served with cucumbers,
and don’t forget about the ranch dip! Any vegetable goes better with ranch
dip, just ask the kids. (or me!)

The Goosebumps Series: With this set, I’m thinking RED Jell-O &
gummy worms! And for their book ‘Horror at Camp Jellyjam’ why not PB&J
sandwiches—cut into squares! Goosebumps even has a title that’s almost too
easy to pair: “Say Cheese and Die!”…Need I say more? BTW, what great titles
for books, eh? Cheese for the kids…wine
for mom and dad!

Okay this next one might be a bit of a stretch but bear with
me. How about the Kevin Henkes book Chester’s
Way? First, you’ve got Chester, and that
automatically goes with “Chester the Cheetah” who represents the Cheetos brand,
so there you go! Cheetos is the perfect pairing! (& it’s your call on Puffy or Crunchy, if you want to live dangerously— get
Flamin’ Hot!

The Isle of the Lost: A Descendants Novel (The Descendants) Evil tree. Bad Apple? Your choices here are any kind of apple, (It’s
autumn I like Honeycrisp!), or even pre-cut apple slices with peanut butter will
work, OR my favorite–caramel dip!
Remember, any fruit or vegetable is made better with a dip! J

The Harry Potter Series! The
obvious choice for me with
this
series is those AWESOMELY AWFUL JELLY BEANS that Harry & the kids ate! And
remember…one of them might not taste quite right! (If you haven’t seen
Jelly Belly’s Game, just know that ANY kid that I’ve ever given these jelly
beans to has LOVED THEM and the game!! You’ve been warned, you’ll be
re-ordering…
