The only thing that can derail a day faster than a suddenly-hungry toddler is two suddenly-hungry toddlers.
When those moments strike without warning, you have very limited time to defuse the situation.
This usually requires some serious snack-slingin' skills.
Your best bet is to have mini morsels at the-ready at all times.
Your best bet is to have mini morsels at the-ready at all times. In the fridge—washed, and prepped, and ready to go, so that all you have to do is grab 'em and hand 'em out when hunger hits.
When you're not hanging at home, have those same bits and bites within arm's reach while you're out-and-about to keep everybody in good spirits, no matter where you are or what you're doing.
Here are three top-tier snack containers to keep your toddlers happy and hunger-free when the munchies come a-callin'.

1. Snack Spinner for Kids & Toddlers by Melii
And Spin, And Snack!
This is the Snack Spinner by Melii. It's an easy-to-open snack container that your little ones can spin to open, grab a snack, and spin to close. It has three different snack compartments (each one can hold four ounces of snacky goodness) to keep food organized and mess-free. Heard of independent play? This lightweight container is designed to help your toddlers snack independently. It's compact and durable, making it perfect to take on-the-go, whether that's running errands with mom or dad or taking it for snacktime at preschool. This container is made of food-safe materials, plus it's dishwasher safe (top rack) for easy cleaning after a long day.

2. Mini Snackle Box Divided Snack Container by Melii
The Name Says it All
The Snackle Box is exactly what it sounds like. It's a cute little container that's divided into six different compartments, so you can easily separate and oranize your toddler's top snacksn and prevent them from mixing. It has a removable divider, so you can choose between three or six snack compartments, depending on the size and shape of the snacks. This compact container has a durable snap-lock lid that securely shuts but is easy-enough for little hands to open on their own when they're at school or daycare. Our kids love being able to dig into their snackbox when it's time to graze in the afternoon. It's made of food-safe materials and is dishwasher-safe for quick cleaning.

3. Snap & Go Baby Food Freezer Storage & Snack Containers
Snappy Snacks
This is an eight-pack of freezer storage and snack containers. They snap together length-wise or stack vertically for easy and compact transport. They have airtight lids, so they can be used for baby food storage (each container holds four ounces) or to take snacks around the house or on-the-go. Our twins highly enjoy grabbing multiple containers to link together and cart around the house with a variety of snacks. They're made of food-safe materials, plus they're microwave-safe, freezer-safe, and dishwasher-safe.
No more double hunger hits
We've all been there when hunger hits without warning. At least, as adults, we can (usually) deal and hang tight until we get the chance to grab a snack, but with toddlers, there's a very limited window to keeping everybody happy instead of hangry.
Having the right snack packs on-hand with bits and bites that'll hit the spot can save the day. Adding this variety of containers to your arsenal will make sure you're prepared for every snacky scenario, from daycare, to schooltime, to sports and extracurricular activities.
No more hunger attacks, just happy snacking ahead.
