need some ideas for snack time

[shazza]

hi just wanted to know what other people gave their 15 month old for snacks.i just need some ideas it just feels like im giving her the same thing i think she would like a bit of variety.

[Edensmumma]

can i give you some of my ideas even tho my bub is nearly 7 months? rice crackers, dried fruit(altho too much is a bit too sugary), homemade frozen yoghurt iceblocks(made with real fruit), fruit fingers to play and eat with, baby quiches, zucchini/potato/carrot patties.. i guess it all depends on what ur bub is in to.. and any allergies?? raw vegie sticks... What are you giving her now??

Hi!

Yoghurt, dip and bikkies, fresh fruit, tubs of fruit, fruit toast,

Thats all I can think of at the moment! LOL!

[Kirst11]

Fresh fruit or veges, rice crackers, home made muffins (apple or banana, or cheese, corn and bacon), mini pizzas, yoghurt (HEAPS of yoghurt), cheese, raisin toast, dip........as Gill said, it really depends what she's into, and if she has any allergies.

I have the Women's Weekly and Family Cirle cook books for babies and toddlers and they always give me plenty of ideas when I run out.

All of the above, plus fruit smoothies (can never give them too much milk,lol) and home made muesli bars.

thanks guys some of your ideas are great especially the muffins and the ice blocks.she usually eats fruit ,raisin toast ,cheese dont think she likes yoghurt she will eat it though.she likes sultanas she doesnt really eat her sandwhich at lunch.might have to try the mini quiches does anybody have these great recipes

[Krisvee]

A really easy way to make them is to just put a bit of bread in a muffin tray as the base, then just mix whatever you want - egg, mushroom, onion, tomato, bacon - whatever really fill up the bread cup and top with a bit of cheese....Something like that anyway! hehe.

yeah- what Kristie said.. or use no bread or use pastry... they are a healthy snack for busy mummy too!!! my sister made tiger toast for her little girl- vegie toast with stripes of cheese melted on top so it looks like tiger stripes.. was always a winner.. make something and give it a special name and kids will love it!!!
home made piklets? um......a leaf of lettuce ,a slice of meat, a slice of cheese and some cucumber or tomato wrapped up so its like a little wrap or parcel??....

A girl in my baby buddies gave us a great idea for mini muffins- just mix a tin of creamed corn with the same tin full of SR flour and another tin full of grated cheese, put into mini muffin pan and cook for about 10 minutes.
