·                     Dry fruits in winters

·                     Select fruit that is a suitable size for the child to easily hold in their hand and eat.

·                     Peel and slice or cut fruit if possible and choose seedless varieties of grapes, watermelon etc.

·                     When using avocado drizzle little lime juice to prevent the avocado from discoloring.

·                     If you want to add tomato to the sandwiches, place the tomatoes between the fillings. This prevents the bread from being soggy.

·                     The leftover roast pumpkin or potatoes can be used for the fillings.

·                     Cut fruits and veggies in cartoon shapes or in a more engaging way for the kid’s attraction.

·                     Make salads. And make it compulsory for everyday.
