DIY Reusable Snack Pouches

It’s easy to bring snacks for kids (or yourself) with these reusable snack pouches! Use waterproof fabric to make them easy to clean!

I love being out and doing activities with my kids. I feel like it’s easier to focus on them and enjoy them when I’m not focused on things that need to be done at home. I always need to bring snacks, so these reusable snack bags are perfect for summer days.

I love that I can bring snacks without using plastic bags. Each kid can have their own pouch so there’s no fighting. They loving having their own fabric print to claim. When we get home I rinse them out or wash them in the dishwasher.

You can also make reusable bowl covers that use the same waterproof fabric. If you want to keep your bowl warm you can make a DIY bowl cozy.

As a family we’ve decided to reduce plastic in our home, but it’s a slow process. It’s changing habits and thought processes so we are working and trying. Trying is better then doing nothing! These reusable snack pouches have been awesome with our family!
