I need an idea for a school party that is pre-packaged/store bought but not cupcakes, chips, cookies or juice. Any ideas?
 
I did the Smarties b/c they are cheap and we can't have homemade treats/unopened things at school
a few diff ideas here here and here

another mom did popsicles (unfrozen) it was really cute but a few were messy since they didn't know to take them home and freeze them..here's the inspiration from pinterest

how many kids? What about the cute shovels ($1 section at Target) with a bag of candy?

would pretzels be ok? Maybe yogurt squeezie things? I think they are called go-gurt?? Applesauce. Fruit cups. Not thinking of anything else right this minute.
 
Could you "swim" in to summer or It's o-fish-ally summer with Gold Fish Crackers in all different varieties. Maybe give out gummy fish (Swedish Fish) to take home. You could go with a whole Under Sea theme. I think they make pre-cut cheese in the shape of Stars (I think it's MIckey Mouse Brand?) and you could pair that with Ritz Crackers and do "star" fish. I've also seen where you take white pre-cut cheese and cut it at a diagonal and make "shark teeth"
Seaweed dip is spinach dip (pre-made from Publix) served with pieces of bread (or bait)
These are cute http://pinterest.com/pin/126734176986416710/
You could do Blue Jell-o cups and then buy the pre-crushed graham crackers (used to make crust) and let the kids sprinkle it on top of their jell-o.
Instead of juice what about mini water bottles with straws taped on to look like snorkles coming up out of the water.

Are you trying to stay away from sugary/sweet stuff?

What about a rainbow theme and do fruit and veggies. Could you just order a tray from Publix or would that be too much? I'm sure they'd make in a rainbow theme if you asked them to.

What about doing a kind of trail mix? Everyone brings something to add or you have lots of stuff to add and then come up with something they learned that year that each part of the mix represents. The kids help make it as they talk about what each part represents and then everyone takes home a bag as a snack on the last day ( I know over here they get out at like 11 am).
 
I love the Goldfish idea, plus all the under the sea things too! Clever!

What about packaged rice krispie treats.... or granola bars?
 
Its not cutesy, but Nicholas and his friends are really into those Go Go Squeezes. You could probably do something fun with them.
 
Great ideas. I have to take something in to celebrate L.J.'s summer birthday on Friday and then something else for end of the year party next Wednesday so I'll be using a couple of these I'm sure.
