Going on a road trip or spending a day out at the park or beach? Try bringing a variety of snacks for your toddler! We are celebrating National Great Outdoors Month and hope you are too!
Toddlers have little tummies that fill up quickly, and they are very active so they quickly burn calories. To keep your hungry toddler happy, offering small servings of healthy snack choices is the trick. Use your Fresh Baby Trays to have snack “at the ready” any time of day!
The concept is simple, at the beginning of each day fill up the compartments of a tray with healthy snack choices. Place the lid on it and store it in the your cooler. When your toddler asks for a snack, simply take the tray out and place it on the table. Let your little one choose which snack foods they want. When they are done, put the cover back on and it’s back in the cooler to wait for the next request.
Using a snacking tray teaches your toddler to make choices, offers them plenty of variety, and makes it easy and convenient for you to answer ever so common cry of “I’m hungry!”
