Varied snacks for children

[MaverickSnoopy]

I have a 6 year old and nearly 22 month old. The nearly 22 month old used to be the non fussy one and ate everything but currently going through a tricky phase. I suspect she is bored of the same food that I give over and over. The 6 year old has nearly always been fussy but is getting better.

I've been working on meal times and they're about 60% better than they were. I really struggle with snacks though and seem to give the same old - apples, raisins, cheese, crackers with peanut butter - that's pretty much it. Neither like eggs so they're out.

Can you help me vary it up a bit please? I need some ideas. Food shopping today/tomorrow so I'm putting a list together...

Bananas

Rice cakes

Toast

Blueberries

Cucumber, tomatoes, hummus, pita bread, popcorn...

little squares of jam on toast
cheddars
little tubs with fruit and then mixed cereal(krispies,multigrain,kronflakes)crunchy topping.
pots of fruit salad
sugar free or normal jelly.they do cute little ones.
any leftover rolls or bread.soak in a little milk with some cinnamon and choc on top.warmed or cold.
sweet or savourty pastry swirls
granola and yoghurt pots
frozen grapes
stick some straws into mini yoghurts to make lollies and freeze

cheese cubes and grapes.
vegetable crisps
mini wraps naans or bagels.make great snacks topped.toasted with anything warm or cold.
little tins of hoops or beans or alphabet spaghetti
little tubs of vegetable rice or pasta or couscous o dish out a bit in a bowl.
start cooking and creating especially with 6 year old.making funny faces out of salad.asking what they feel like having and vreating mini recipes.such a good age to get their food juices flowing.
get them interested in shops.in the recipes books getting them choose things.itl help be more interested in whatever it is.
if your have veggies or fruit ask them to pick or theme or colour to follow.
today because your name is * we will have this snack beging with same letter etc.
do you have dp.or grandmother/friend.get them to cook meals or snack for it.get them less bored.

I make home made pita chips or tortilla chips by chopping wholemeal wraps or pittas into pieces space on baking sheet and spray lightly with oil (use a flavoured oil for variation). Added bonus that even those who would normally moan at wholemeal eat them as once they are toasted it’s harder to tell. Good on their own or with a dip.

My DD likes frozen peas.
