Planning activities, snacks, field trips + grocery list with pre schooler

Spring break is always a much anticipated break even with the unusual number of snow days we experienced this year.  A good plan with plenty of healthy meals, and nutritious snacks along with lots of creative activities is essential to keeping up with the 4 year old this year.  I put together a five day plan to make organizing and inspiration easy for this special grandma time.
