Whether your child is just learning their letters or already crafting their own adventures, here’s how to turn snack time into story time and build confidence in reading and writing along the way.
Fuel Creativity with the Storybook Sweepstakes
Kids now have the chance to share their quirky stories for a chance to win cool prizes! Our Storybook Sweepstakes encourages young readers and writers to create their own tales starring their favorite Snack Pals characters. Whether it’s a messy masterpiece in the Snack Pals art studio, a twisty-turny tale on the playground or a deliciously silly picnic party, their story can go wherever their imagination takes it.

(Open July 14th to August 10th for kids ages 5 to 9.)
Pro tip: After writing their story, ask your child to “read it aloud” to the family at snack time for bonus reading practice and an instant confidence boost!
