The after-school snack disappears before anyone sits down

There is a sudden hunger window between getting home and an evening activity. Our usual snacks are either too small or eaten while standing over a bag. I'm trying to plan something practical that doesn't spoil dinner. What works with that awkward timing?

    We put a small plate ready before leaving for pickup, not after arriving home.

      Having something ready is the part we're missing. Everyone walks in already irritated.

    I found that a glass of water and a proper seat changed the frantic grabbing.
