What snacks do you give your children?

[Tinks15]

Really struggle with snacks for my DD’s, need some ideas. I give fruit (when they’ll have it), raisins & the odd biscuit but what else can I give? One is nearly 5 & other is 20 months.

Thanks everyone. Getting them to eat fruit is a struggle at the moment, I just keep offering it to them.

Was trying to think is there a fairly healthy but tasty snack I could make myself.

[APurpleSquirrel]

I make a sort of trail mix of dried fruit, Cheerios, Fruit Paws/Claws, Fruit Strings, Yoghurt covered raisins/fruit bits, flapjack & occasionally mini marshmallows, Milky Way Stars, mini biscuits.
Other snacks:
Fruit
Carrots/cucumber/tomatoes
Frozen peas
Puffcorn (by Organix)
Ritz mini biscuits
Crackers
Dairylea Dippers
Biscuits
Toast
Crumpets
Freeze-dried Smoothie (can't remember the brand)
Homemade Banana Loaf
