My Top 3 Tips For Snack Time with a Picky Toddler

“This post has been sponsored by Gerber®. All thoughts and opinions are my own.”

You’ve been there, the dreaded snack time battle with your picky toddler! As a kid, I always thought snack time was the absolute BEST—so I love making snack time fun for my kids. But, as a toddler mom, I quickly realized that snack time can become a battleground with hungry, cranky, picky little ones that have a mind of their own. After too many days of the same battle, I went on a mission to solve this issue for our little family. I came up with a few convenient snack options like Gerber® Organic Snacks Popped Crisps, Green & Yellow Peas to make mom’s life a little easier. Plus, here are My Top 3 Tips For Snack Time with a Picky Toddler:

Create a game plan

Every week, we order groceries online. Walmart grocery pick up is one of my favorite inventions as a mom because it makes my life so much easier. I create a game plan for our week, including snack options, then I place my order for pick up. I have a list of “mom approved” products for snack time specifically. I like to mix it up, but this allows me to give my toddler a good base with nutritious options like Gerber Organic Snacks. Did you know that most age/developmentally appropriate snacks for toddlers can be found on the baby aisle? Plus, right now, you can get $0.75 Cash Back on the Ibotta App on (1) Gerber Popped Crisps (valid on in-store purchases only)! The moral of this tip: have a plan for your week with snack options that are approved by you and that’s “all that’s in the kitchen.”

 

Change Your Setting

Do you always have snack time in the same place? Mix it up. Think outside, in the car, at a park, inside picnic… something out of the normal. My kids LOVE being outside, so whenever things just aren’t going my way, I grab our snacks and head outside. There is just something about getting some fresh air that helps my kids be in a better mood. When it’s raining, we might have a picnic inside or in their tents. Maybe your kids like a car ride or the park… change the scenery and bring your snack along for the ride! Gerber Organic Popped Crisps are great for on the go and nutritious! You can also change the scenery musically and have a snack time dance party. Music + food is always a good idea!

Make A Face

Get creative. Kids love fun and so do adults. Just because you are over 25 doesn’t mean you can’t find joy from a snack in the shape of a happy face. Remember, it’s the little things. The point is to be creative and have fun. Plus, Gerber Popped Crisps put a smile on mama’s face because they are made with ingredients moms love and a taste kids love! The popped crisps have 4g of whole grain goodness per serving, 2g of plant-based protein per serving, are USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, and made with no artificial colors or flavors and no preservatives.

I hope these three tips help you wrangle your picky toddler during snack time battles. Plus, be sure to head to Walmart or order online and use the Ibotta app $0.75 Cash Back! Gerber Organic Snacks have more great snack options, too, so be sure to check them out!

  • We snuck in a little getaway the past few days at @thesanluisresort in Galveston, Texas. 

We were blown away with how this gem is so close to home and we didn’t even realize. 

From the moment you walk in the door, you just feel like it’s an elevated coastal escape. 

It’s very luxurious for adults, yet fun for kids. The views from our room were incredible and we could spend all day at their pool (it’s has the most serene vibe).

They also have daily kid-friendly activities and with their Island Explorer package - you get passes to Pleasure Pier.

All of us had such a good time and can’t wait to go back!

  • #ad Hanging out by the lake today and gotta have our @Ozarkaspringwtr to stay hydrated in this Texas heat! 

We go on a lot of adventures during summer, but being by the water is definitely our happy place and Ozarka® is our #1 must have. 

Ozarka® is made in Texas, and you can just taste the Texas spring water difference.
