When school aged children come home from a long day at school, they usually are in need of a good afternoon snack.

3. Blue Corn Chips with grated cheese melted on top

4. A bowl of mixed nuts

Little Tips
Never give young toddlers hard fruit or veggies such as apples or carrots. Pieces can break off and create a choking hazard. Grate or cook (to soften) the fruit or vegetable as an alternative.

 
Little Tips
Preschoolers love eating off a stick. Buy some popcycle sticks at the craft store and get creative... add fruit, meatballs or veggies and serve for a fun meal or snack.
