My daughter also attends the same preschool as my son (they are 18 months apart in age). So for her turn to bring snack we made a rainbow color theme. We made fruit kabobs and got to talk about the color rainbow. We made the first fruit kabob together and then I had her and my son follow the pattern to create the rest of the kabobs. After they each create a kabob I asked them things like, "How many kabobs do we have so far?" "Is that enough for all your classmates to have one?" "How many more do we need to make so that everyone will get one?" "We have made 5 so far and we need six, so do both of you need to make one this time?"
I felt like we needed to add some veggies to the snack as well (because of the other part of the snack which is below). So I had them put a carrot, mini corn, and cucumber spear on the tray; one for each child in their class. That skill is known as one-to-one correspondence; one child gets one carrot.
So the other part of her rainbow theme snack was rainbow colored popcorn flavored with Kool-Aid. I saw it on Pinterest, but here is the direct link to the recipe for
Rainbow Kool-Aid Popcorn.
