No, its not stealing, it already belonds to the family.
HOWEVER, they may act against "house law/rules".
I know my mother didn't want us to fetch snacks from the fridge(or any of the cupboards, for that matter) when dinner was to be served in a little while.
Many children are not exactly good with "organizing" their diet, and why would they, it's their parents job.
So it would mostly depend on the family situation.
I say keep a fruit basket or something similar around, and make it clear to children that if they want a snack, they can always take something from here, but otherwise, they should ask or wait for lunch/dinner.
If they still take stuff, without asking, then it's still not stealing, but will lead to a serious talk with them.
If a child is sneaking food, is it stealing?
