Toddlers just love bite size snacks.
They are so easy to handle and seemingly made just for them. I have
listed a few of these healthy snacks for toddlers. They are as follows:
Watermelon
I just love watermelon. The watermelon
can be cut into quarters. In
addition, it is quite nutritional for you and your toddler. This can
also be done with cantaloupe as well and cantaloupe is packed full of
vitamins.

Teddy Grahms Trail Mix
Elle talks about this Trail Mix
mentioning that it is something she would prepare when it was her
turn to bring snacks to her son's preschool. This is her personal
recipe which can be found at her site
http://www.ellesnewenglandkitchen.com/blog/2012/2/1/teddy-graham-trail-mix.html.
The ingredients include teddy grahams, mini pretzels, m&m's,
yogurt covered raisins, and raisinets. These ingredients sound
really good. I will have to make this and let you know what I think.
Animal Crackers
Have you given your toddler any animal
crackers recently? The great thing about them is that besides the
fact that they taste good, they are just the right size for your
toddler to handle and to eat.
Trix Cereal
You may have a favorite cereal that you
prefer. I recall putting trix dry cereal in a small sandwich bag for
my toddlers. This was great to take with me when traveling to the
store with toddlers. Usually if toddlers are snacking, they are
happy, and you avoid a lot of grocery store drama. Toddlers may get
hungry while you are shopping with toddler. I also, would bring a
bag to church, which would help my toddler make it through the
service.
Mini-hot dogs
Since a hot dog is more than a handful
for a toddler, what about a mini hot dog. You can purchase the mini
ball park hots dogs and just cut a full hot dog bun in half. This
idea is found at

Frozen Snack bites
For those of you that have babies, you
might want to try frozen snack bites made from baby food. Hanna
talks about this at her website
http://www.eatcraftparent.com/2013/01/turn-baby-food-into-bite-size-frozen-snacks-for-babies-and-toddlers/.
She emphasizes that she put a spoonful of baby food on parchment
paper and froze it over night. In addition, she states she used
blueberry applesauce and sweet potato baby food. This frozen
receipe is good for teething babies.
Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Now this is one of my favorites. The
grilled cheese sandwiches can be cut into fourths, which is about the
right size for a toddler to handle. This is nutritional as well as
tasty.
