Rediscover Fun in the New School Year with Stauffer's Simply Animals®

As summer days draw to a close and families prepare for the bustling back-to-school season, Stauffer's Simply Animals® invites everyone to keep the fun alive. Trading beach bags for backpacks doesn’t have to mean saying goodbye to excitement and creativity. In fact, it’s the perfect opportunity to infuse some playful energy into lunchtime and after-school activities.

The heart of the back-to-school experience is not just the return to schedules and routines; it’s also a chance to explore new horizons, especially in reading. In line with this spirit, Stauffer's continues its fruitful partnership with Reading Is Fundamental (RIF). This collaboration aims to inspire a love for books among children. A highlight of this partnership is the free availability of the book "Bryson's Rocket Riddles" on RIF's innovative Skybrary reading app until November. This initiative not only encourages reading but also opens portals to imaginative worlds for kids.

Stauffer's Simply Animals® transforms everyday snacks into exciting adventures, making lunch time not just a routine but a memorable experience. According to Ken Vlazny, the Senior VP of Sales and Marketing at Stauffer's, "The back-to-school season is about embracing routines, but it also holds countless opportunities to make ordinary moments extraordinary. Simply Animals adds a dash of imagination to snack times and lunchboxes while ensuring parents can trust the quality of our ingredients."

Creative Lunch Box Ideas

Why settle for mundane meals? Stauffer's Simply Animals encourages parents to craft imaginative lunch experiences:

• - Monday Camel Crossing: Kick off the week by crafting a desert-themed lunch featuring Simply Animals Camel crackers paired with hummus and pita, complemented by vibrant fruits and veggies. Sandy-color accents can complete the desert scene.

• - Wednesday Lion's Lunch: Make Wednesdays roar with fun by featuring Simply Animals Lions alongside orange slices and golden-hued foods, perfect for any jungle king!

• - Friday Buffalo Stampede: Wrap up the week with a prairie adventure using Simply Animals Buffalo crackers, some trail mix, fresh fruit, and veggies for a fun-filled and delicious end to the school week.

In addition, Simply Animals® are delightful not only for children's lunch boxes but for adult ones too. A sprinkle of childhood whimsy can rekindle joy in an ordinary workday.

Snack Time Solutions

After a long day at school, kids often come home craving snacks. To simplify snack time for busy parents, Stauffer's suggests creating a colorful snack drawer. Using Simply Animals Original crackers (available in both 12-pack multipacks and 16 oz bags), parents can stock various flavors such as Cocoa and Glazed Cinnamon, providing kids with tasty choices without the high-fructose corn syrup or artificial colors.

Snacktivity: Merging Snacks with Creativity

Moreover, Simply Animals encourage not just snacking, but crafting! Encourage kids to turn graham crackers into canvases where they can build edible scenes using fruit and pretzel sticks. This engaging activity offers kids hands-on fun, allowing them to tap into their imagination and enjoy what they create.

At the end of their creative 'snacktivity', children can unwind by reading "Bryson's Rocket Riddles" or books from their home library, blending snacks with literacy in a fun way.

With 13 fun animal shapes and a trio of delightful flavors, Simply Animals equips families with both wholesome snacking options and opportunities to create unforgettable moments. Stauffer's Simply Animals® reiterates that returning to school can be more than just adhering to schedules; it's an opportunity to create, discover, read, and cherish everyday experiences.
