    On the Go Snack Bag

    Published: Aug 26, 2016 · Modified: Jun 16, 2022 by Tamara Kelly · 26 Comments

    Kids love snacks! This seems to be a universal. Whether it's elementary school snack time or at a toddler's well child checkup or while running around after school, kids need fuel! And the On the Go Snack Bag is one fun way to make sure they have the snack they need when they need it!

    The On the Go Snack Bag is sized to fit their healthy snack of choice - a granola bar, cheese crackers, a small apple - whatever gets them through those "I'm STARVING" moments! And it's got a bright and easily customizable look so you can tailor it to their favorite colors and activities.

    And it's functional too! The carabiner is fully attached to the Bag, and it slips through an opening  a the top  - closing the bag and trapping the snack, and ready to clip on to their backpack, the diaper bag, or your own purse! They also make great gift bags, filled with their favorite goodies!

      There seems to be a problem with the Print Friendly button. When I click on it (I tried several times) the oaf that comes up for PDF etc doesn't have any pics. ?

        Sometimes it does glitch - it's an external program and I don't have any direct control if it. If it's acting up, you can try PrintFriendly.com in another tab, or you can try a different but similar program called Clean Print. 🙂

        Go to the green print button, if you hold the mouse over words/ads it will say "click to delete". Do this with all you want to get rid of. I found this out on others patterns I wanted to print without "extra" stuff. Hope this helps.

      What a great idea! As a diabetic I need to carry a snack, this cute little snack bag can clip onto my crochet tote , (that I take everywhere!), and I won't have an extra bag to carry! Thank you!

      i really like this and, while I no longer have children at home, I DO have two puppies that get treats on our walks. I think this will work beautifully!

        Thank you so much Janet! It shouldn't make a big difference in the crocheting, but I would recommend setting the colors with vinegar before washing - some colors run quite a bit in Sugar'n Cream.

      My kids saw the link in your email and requested snack bags today. Guess what I'll be working on? 😉 As always, thank you for the clear, concise pattern for a cute, useful item. I've made several of your patterns and they always turn out great!
