Top Ten Finger Foods

June 21, 2012

* Steamed Veggies with sesame seeds or salt free seasoning toddlers can sprinkle on
* Ripe fruits cut into bite size pieces (mango, papaya, banana, berries, pears, peaches, persimmon, strawberries, or any seasonal fruit)
* Whole Wheat Bagels (which also make great teethers)
* Cubed tofu
* Cooked beans
* Seaweed snack
* Cheese cubes or sticks
* Edamame/soy beans
* Spoonful of nut butter (this one will keep your toddler busy for at least a few minutes- I used to give this to my puppy ;))
* Cooked pasta ( cut into bite size pieces and mixed with tomato sauce, pesto or even a touch of olive oil and parmesan)

        What kind of bread crumbs do you use? My 15 month old doesn’t like “crunchy”, she prefers softer foods with these molars coming in. Thanks!

    I really just want the recipe for those animal-shaped veggie nuggets in the picture! I can’t find it anywhere on the website.

    A little nut butter on a spoon that a toddler can lick off while sitting in a highchair (or other chair they normally eat in) is less of a choking hazard than letting them walk around eating other types of finger foods. The baby’s saliva will break down the nut butter easier and faster than a cookie, cracker or apple.

    Pretty common sense to watch your child with any food. My daughter did fabulous with a spoonful of crunchy peanut butter at 9mos.

    I’m guessing she means a spoonful put on the highchair or something, it will give them something to play with and lick off their fingers :)

    A spoonful of nut butter is a choking hazard for a toddler. Just a teaspoon can block the windpipe. Nut butters should only be served to toddlers and young kids when spread thinly on crackers, etc. Fine for a puppy though!
