Toddler snacks they’ll actually eat

It’s such a common question, “how can I get my toddler to eat?”. Over the years, I’ve fed a lot of kiddos and I know what appeals to them and what doesn’t. Toddlers can be picky eaters and it’s not because they’re trying to be difficult. Eating is a developmental process that takes time to master. For example, acquiring new tastes, feeding yourself, managing a spoon and bowl, figuring out how to stab something with a fork, learning what appeals to you and what doesn’t.  That’s a lot to figure out for a little person!

In this video I show you how to make some finger foods that are proven favorites from The Infant Development Center where I started my career. I’ve made these snacks dozens of times for my own kids as well as all the other little ones in my life. 🥰  Take a look and then try them for yourself!
