Kid-Approved After School Treats to Complete the Day

The school year is in full swing, and with it comes homework, extracurricular activities, and the daily hustle of getting everyone where they need to be. But amidst the busy schedules, there’s always room for a moment of sweetness — a chance to slow down and connect with your kids after a long day.

A SWEET TREAT FOR A JOB WELL DONE

Nothing puts a smile on a child’s face quite like a delicious sweet treat. With multiple indulgent, refreshing flavors, Mamita’s Ices are the perfect way to reward your kids for their participation and hard work at school. Whether they aced a spelling test, showed kindness to a classmate, or simply gave it their best effort, a Mamita’s Ice is a celebration in itself!

Choose from popular tropical flavors like lemon-lime, mango cream, and coconut cream, or let your kids pick something new for an added element of surprise. From our exotic, tangy tamarind ice to our slightly-nutty batata cream (a favorite among kids who like sweet potatoes), our unique flavor profiles make for an easy “pick me up” that not only tastes amazing but also encourages more good days at school.

TURN ANYTIME INTO QUALITY TIME

For many families, after school often means a quick trip to the local bodega or grocery store to pick up essentials. Why not make that errand an opportunity to bond? Grab Mamita’s Ices on your way home, and use the drive or walk as a chance to talk with your child about their day. 

Make the most of the time together by asking engaging questions like:

  • What was the best part of your day?
  • What was something new you learned today?
  • What made you laugh today?
  • Is there anything you’re excited about for tomorrow?

These small conversations can mean the world to a child, and the promise of a tasty treat makes the moment all the sweeter!

A SNACK FOR THE WHOLE FAM

Don’t get us wrong: Mamita’s Ices aren’t just for kids. Made with real fruit and cane sugar, our ices are a treat the whole family can enjoy together. While your child savors their go-to flavor, why not grab an ice (or two) to treat yourself?

Sharing a snack can spark stories, laughter, and a few minutes of much-needed relaxation before diving into the evening’s responsibilities. Plus, for those who enjoyed Mamita’s Ices as a kid themselves, it’s a chance to revel in a nostalgic reminder of simpler times.

LIFE GETS BUSY, BUT MAMITA’S ICES HELP…

In a world that moves fast, finding small ways to connect with your kids is more important than ever. After-school schedules can get hectic, but Mamita’s Ices fits seamlessly into even the busiest days. They’re portable, quick to grab, and mess-free — a win for parents on the go. Whether you’re heading home after soccer practice or squeezing in a snack before homework begins, Mamita’s Ices are a fuss-free way to add a moment of joy to your day.

PRO TIP: MAKE IT A TRADITION

Turning Mamita’s Ices into an after-school tradition gives your family something to look forward to every day. It’s a little slice of happiness that reminds your kids that they deserve to indulge in life’s simple joys, especially after a long day of learning and engaging at school.
