This is a bit later than planned, but below is a list of possible “healthy” snacks for your little one’s. I picked up a lot of ideas from a previous post: New food and drink guidelines for 1 to 5 year olds.
Check out my previous posts on Feeding our children, Breakfast variety and Pudding/desert variety.
I’ve had a lot of great feedback about these posts, so I’m glad you’ve found them useful!
