Snackle Box

Michaela Blaney saw a meme online of someone at the beach using a fishing tackle box as a snack box, aka a “snackle box.’ Though this was supposed to be a joke, she took it VERY seriously and set out to create her own.

Why? “I have seen it countless times: you present a child with 1 to 4 snack options, and each one is swatted away,” she says. So to avoid hangry children on the verge of a meltdown, present them with The Snackle Box. “Yes, I feel like this is something a ‘cool aunt’ would do, and might be used ONLY for special occasions, but it does the trick,” Michaela asserts.

The options are endless, so use your imagination and pantry. Presenting mundane snacks like carrots and grapes in this way can reinvigorate joy in the little things. “My friend used it to play a snack bingo as they drove to their next activity; ‘eat something that’s GREEN!’ — tricked ya kid!”
