Snacks. I hear this word in my sleep. With three kids under three, I am no stranger to the need for new, SIMPLE, and healthy snack ideas. Whether you’re heading out on a vacation or packing a lunch for daycare or preschool these healthy toddler snacks will keep your toddler busy, full, and happy!
TODDLER SNACKS
I’ve included ideas for healthy toddler snacks on the go, healthy snacks toddlers can make, cheap kid snacks to buy, as well as healthy snacks for picky eaters! A lot of these foods are portable and they are packed full of nutrition too. Another bonus is these easy snacks taste great since I know many of you are dealing with picky toddlers! *Sigh* Such is life.
