Hi, Laura here...

As a Michigan-native graphic designer, the idea for Active Snacks came to me after I noticed the popularity of food-themed coloring books. I thought: what if food was active, just like we should be? And with that, the Snacktives characters were born.

The books inspire kids to ask more questions about food, sports, and activities—helping them discover how fun and easy it is to stay active and healthy every day!

I hope you all ‘Get Snacktive!’
