Ds1 is leaving preschool this week, can someone recommend some good allergy free treats he can take in, please?

Don't mind what they are - healthy, chocolate/sweets etc, but I'd rather he took something that very child can have, rather than excluding those with allergies.

Someone's mentioned M&S chocs to me?

Doesn't matter where it's from, we live in a biggish city so plenty of shops!

Fruit? Or is that not enough of a treat?

dark choc is good (sainsburies apparently do guaranteed nut free too, and i think g&b might be)

if you go to the health shop they do lots of biscuits and treats that cater for all allergy types

you could bake some g-f queen cakes and he could 'help' ice them

my ds is allergic to nuts and he can have m&s choc,I also give him white choc buttons

very kind of you to consider the allergic children!

Raisins if you can find some that are not contaminated with nuts. Most other treats other than fruit are going to contain gluten, eggs or dairy.

That's my dilemma gf3, they have fruit everyday at snack time, including some really unusual stuff so I was thinking about something else but I have no idea what is nut - , gluten-, egg-, and dairy-free. Maybe I'll check with the manager tomorrow and see what allergies are in on Fri. I'd rather make some cakes or something, tbh, but have no idea how to do allergy free ones.

you can find recipes very easily on the net and you can get ingredients in the health shop

party bag toys?

check what allergies there are. You can easily get gluten free flour and xanthum gum to make gluten free cakes if necessary or egg replacer, stork and water for dairy and egg free cakes. Home made cakes are usually fine for nut allergies.

Good of you to think about it, I wish more parents did.
