What's For Dinner Wednesday Week 4

Easy Variety Toddler Breakfast

Toddlers are picky eaters. Sometimes we stress over how much they eat (or rather how much they do not eat). One of the best tips for getting them to munch more, is to offer a variety of foods. The best thing you can do, is offer a little of a few various foods at each meal. If they eat all of one, you know you have a winner. If they don't touch others, you might avoid those for a couple months, then try again. If you keep trying a variety of foods, eventually you should come up with enough for a well balanced meal, that they will actually eat. 



Ingredients Needed
5 strawberries (cut in half if necessary)

5 blackberries
5 blueberries
2 mini pancakes
1 small jar applesauce
Small handful of teddy gram cookies

Supplies Needed
Fun colorful plate
Fun colorful spoon


Directions
1) Open applesauce and place on plate.
2) Sprinkle cookies on top, and stick in the spoon
3) Arrange pancakes and berries in a variety on the plate
4) (hopefully) watch you little one eat some food

Great idea!

I never thought about making sure that the utensils are colorful as well. My son is such a picky eater, perhaps this will help.
