If you've never heard of Live From Snack Time, it's an incredibly wholesome Instagram page run by Alyssa Cowit, a school teacher from NYC, and Greg Dunbar, a digital marketing manager with Walt Disney Studios. With a following of more than 575k, the page was created to give adults some insight into what's going on inside the minds of small children.
"Children are honest and curious, and while often perplexed, they're brilliant," Alyssa says. And we're not about to argue with her!
"Live From Snack Time started as an account for parents and teachers to highlight the brilliant and hilarious thoughts of kids. Now, six years later, we have created an international hub for people to submit kids' quotes and seek out our account for laughter, honesty, and joy," Alyssa and Greg said.

Alyssa and Greg say the page has grown drastically since the beginning of the pandemic. "We've seen tremendous growth of both our community and the amount of quotes they are submitting," they said.
The pair believe the page offers a source of comfort to many during this difficult time. "In a time of so much uncertainty and sadness and fear, I think people looked to us for light humor and relatable content," they explained.

Recently, Live From Snack Time has begun working with a family in the UK called Woodism_Ink. The company is run by a couple who create beautiful artwork based on their autistic son's quotes.
"This helped bring awareness and acceptance for autism and raised money for an important charity!" Alyssa and Greg said. They say they "are currently looking for other opportunities to connect people and shed light on important issues and understandings that can start young."

Another exciting addition to the Live From Snack Time brand is a collection of children's books suggestions on their website. "We feel that children's books are one of the most effective and practical tools for initiating critical conversations about race and racism, so with the help of our incredible community of followers, we developed a library of books organized by reading level and linked to purchase them from Black-owned bookstores," they explained.

It's clear that kids are the same all over the world. With "submissions from 6 continents, we have living proof that kids are talking about the same topics and have similar questions around the world, especially when it comes to the pandemic," say Alyssa and Greg.
"From the quotes that came in, it was clear that kids missed their friends, wanted to beat (or 'beat up') the virus and some weren't afraid to tell their parents they were a little sick of all the time they were spending together!" they explained. "We are all more similar than people realize, and the mission, brand, and content are universal and dynamic."
