Snakes and Ladders

Some ideas for snack times for the little ones

Cheese
Cubes or slices of cheese are great as finger foods. Hard cheeses like edam and cheddar are generally accepted.

Steamed Broccoli
Plain steamed broccoli florets are sweetish in taste. Steam lightly to retain the crunchiness.

Bread sticks (with cheese dip)
Bread sticks are great on their own or with cream cheese dips.

Pepper strips (with hummus)
Wonderful source of antioxidants and a great way to consume raw veggies. Red, yellow and orange peppers cut into thin strips on their own or with a plain hummus dip.

Dried fruits
Very handy while travelling and if your child is fussy about eating fruits. Raisins, sulatanas, apricots, figs - store up on them.

Nuts and seeds
Same as above. Nuts can pose choking hazard so be mindful while your child is eating them.
