What about pasta shells- the big ones, or other pick-upable pasta? Maybe with some sort of sauce he can dip it into? Or have it with soft veggies like avocado, cucumber, whole green beans or half cooked carrots. Home made chicken 'nuggets', meatballs, with things to dip into like cheese sauce/salsa/hummos/tzatzki(sp??) veggie patties, baked hard veggies (eg- pumpkin,sweet potato, potato, turnips) Ummm......different breads like mountain bread/tortillas/corn bread to dip.....can you guess I think dipping is FUN?! Hard boiled eggs, platter of chopped/diced/fingers of salad and ham/chicken leg/other meat, savoury muffins/small frittats/pancakes.
