130+ Healthy Snacks from A to Z | Alphabet Snacks for Kids
Do you need to find an alphabet snack for your child’s preschool or kindergarten class?
Or just want to teach your child about nutrition and the alphabet at the same time!?
*Disclosure: some links may contain affiliate links. For more information on what this means, visit my disclosure page.
Well, if you do, and you haven’t been on my site before; my girls and I went through an A to Z healthy snack challenge this past year!!
A 26 week challenge in which we on focused snacks starting with a different letter of the alphabet each week. (This was when my girls were 1 and 4 years old.) We came up with over 130 different snacks!!!
They absolutely loved it!
And, you and your kids can do the same. Maybe with not so many snacks, it as quite a challenge some weeks to come up with healthy snacks for some of the letters of the alphabet!
Just remember to make it fun; find out what part of the snack makes it healthy and tell your kids about it. Or, let them know the vitamins and minerals in a specific fruit or veggie they’re eating, and what it helps with in their body. (Example: Oranges and strawberries have vitamin C which will help them not get sick! Or, bananas have potassium which helps with electrolyte balance and will give them energy!)
I’m honestly amazed at how much my oldest has picked up about nutrition from me simply telling her an interesting fact everyday of this challenge, and in everyday life! She even helped me come up with some of the snacks below.
You can download a printable list of them all here!

I hope you enjoyed the convenience of my master list of healthy snacks from A to Z. It was an adventure of a challenge, with a lot of new foods and new recipes tried!
Between this challenge and all the documentaries I watch about eating well; I hope my daughters will grow up eating well without even realizing it!
So many people go through life simply eating whatever snacks they want without realizing most pre packaged foods don’t have any nutritional value to them!
My girls are growing up with snacks that have plenty of nutritional value and snacks that are fun!
Comment below if you have any other snack ideas for any letter of the alphabet. I’ll update my list with your suggestion(as long as it’s healthy and mostly plant based!). And, don’t forget to share this with friends and family!
