The time has come (the walrus said) to talk of snacks and things…
Sylvia’s preschool is selling some great reusable snack bags as a school fundraiser. I first learned about Snack Taxi bags a few years ago at a play date. The kids had been racing around the playground for a while when my friend Laura pulled some cute grape-filled bags out of her purse and handed them to her hot kids. I hadn’t been so prepared, and thankfully, her kids were willing to share with mine. Laura said the bags were machine washable and worked great – the nylon interior is easily cleaned…so I went home and ordered a few of my own. Since then, I’ve been steadily increasing our stash. I love ’em!
I can’t begin to count the number of times we use these bags when we leave the house with a bag of crackers or nuts or carrots or grapes. It feels good to not be throwing plastic baggies into the trash each day, and I think it sets a good standard for Andrew and Sylvia about not using disposable items – Reuse! Plus, all materials are lead, phthalate and BPA free, and SnackTaxi is a mom-run business.
The Dotzour family currently owns two sandwich-size bags, four snack-size bags, and a cute napkin. I think we need to double that amount since Andrew takes a lunch three days a week and Sylvie is taking a lunch to school a couple days a week, so our rinsed-out bags don’t have time to dry before they are needed again. Now, the question is…which patterns to buy (that organic fruit pattern is one)!
Monona Grove Nursery School receives 40% of the proceeds from these sales, so you can place a big order, knowing that nearly half of it is going to support the creative, fun, and nurturing work of Sylvie’s lovely school.
To order, click on this Snack Taxi link that will take you directory to the school’s fundraising page. You might also note “Monona Grove Nursery School fundraiser” in the comments box when you place your order just to confirm. Your order is shipped directly to you. The sale is open through September 30, so don’t delay. Thanks so much, and feel free to message me (adotzour@gmail.com) if you have any questions. Cheers!
