Have them make their own fruit salad...that was fun with my 5 year olds...I have them "cook" a fruit salad. It helps them learn how to follow a recipie...follow directions....etc..
HAVE FUN!!
Pre- cut disney shaped cheese (sold in the grocery store by the shredded cheese) and whole wheat crackers. My daughters 1st grade class loved them!
Space Chocolate Bars...all of it is nutritious.
Cheese and Vegemite Sandwiches cut into animals and smiley faces my little brother used to love them!
I'm having the same problem myself. Our school enforcing the healthy choices snack program, and my son's birthday is on Friday. I think I am going to make either muffins, using applesauce instead of oil, or making a snack mix using no-sugar cereal and peanut butter (kind of like puppy chow, without the chocolate). Good luck!
CHECK for peanut allergies......
Savory Snacktime Mix
2 cups Cheerios cereal
2 cups Chex cereal (any variety)
2 cups pretzels
1 cup peanuts
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
Heat oven to 275°F. In ungreased 13x9-inch pan, mix cereals, pretzels and peanuts.
In small bowl, mix remaining ingredients. Pour over cereal mixture, stirring until evenly coated.
Bake 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Spread on paper towels to cool, about 15 minutes. Store in airtight container up to 1 week.

I am sitting here with my daughter and she is going to help me out with this question. Her answers are:
graham crackers
pretzels
fruit cups
I think animal crackers might be a good idea.
oatmeal cookies, you can put all kinds of stuff in them, and they're reasonably easy for little hands to hold.
Im a pre-school teacher actually (up waaaay past my bedtime). At the school I work at, it is preferred that parents do not bring treats that have refined sugar or nuts in them. Fruit is always a great treat the children love to have. Oranges and strawberries are favorites. Last year a some favorites that a few of the parents brought in for a birthday celebration were frozen green and red (seedless) grapes. And also a father baked blueberry muffins (as opposed to bringing in cupcakes) for a birthday celebration.
Air-popped corn, cherry tomatoes, steamed corn kernels...
