Zero the Hero

Anna had her first homework assignment last night. She enjoyed completing it and had no clue that in a matter of just a few years, she'll feel very differently about it. I have a homework assignment too apparently. In Anna's kindergarten class they count each day that they have been in school. In "honor" of the special math concept that happens every 10th day, they celebrate "Zero the Hero". A special visitor comes dressed up in a cape and they sing, count and find all of the 0's all over the room. I will be the special "snack provider". I have to secretively come up with a zero-shaped or round-shaped snack for the class to eat that day. I drop it off at the main office and all of the children think that "Zero the Hero" brought it in for them. Being that this is my first homework assignment, I'd like to make a good impression. Any suggestions? I'm willing to go all out on this one.

Don't you love all the clever things they do in school now? I'm amazed at all the new ideas since i was in Kindergarten.
My first recommendation would be doughnut holes - that's my sweet tooth talking...and my practical side that knows you can easily pick up a box for pretty cheap.
If you're going for healthy you could do Carrots cut into circles. And something somewhat in the middle of junk and health could be Ritz crackers or those 2 sided cracker/pretzel things.

Janelle, I tried for a mix of healthy and not so healthy. Rice Krispie treats but instead of using Rice Krispies I used Cheerios -they are zero shaped and the internet said they are healthier than Rice Krispies. After eating half of them while I made them, I decided they must be healthier -they don't taste as good !
