Toddlers and small children are super busy exploring their world... Many times they need a small snack to keep them going. Snacks For Toddlers offers healthy kid snack ideas and quick snack recipes for feeding those hungry (and sometimes picky) mouths.

Quick Ideas

Foods To Keep Handy

Every trip to the grocery store, I make sure I add the following to my grocery cart... this way I know I always will have a nice snack ready for my kids when they come calling.

Fresh Fruit
Apples, Bananas, Pears, Melon, Kiwi, Grapes, Mango

Dried Fruit
apricots, banana chips, apples, raisins, cranberries, blueberries, cherries, papaya

Cheese
- String Cheese is a big hit - sometimes I'll cut it up in small circles
- Grated Cheese - I get the big bag at Costco and break it down into 3 bags. Two bags go in the freezer and 1 bag in the fridge for immediate use
- Block Cheese - I like to cut this into sticks or small squares for super little fingers
- Cottage Cheese - With a teaspoon of preserves or cut up fruit (peaches, pears, nectarines)

Vegetables
For younger toddlers
Peas, Green beans, cooked carrots and broccoli

For older children
carrots, celery, jicama, cucumber, tomatoes
