Event Announcement: ‘Healthy Food For Healthy Kids’-Preschooler Snacks

Hi All!

I’m on a event hosting spree as I’m announcing the second event which I’m hosting this month, I’ve already announced ‘Only’ Event of this month here.The new event that I’m guest hosting is called Healthy Food For Healthy Kids and is the brain child of Nithu of Nithu’s Kitchen.

When Nithu asked blogger’s to guest host her event few month’s back, I readily jumped to grab the opportunity as cooking for kids is something I love to do and also that, I rarely get a chance and time to host other events. Thanks so much Nithu for trusting me with your event.

Preschooler children lie in the age group of 2.5-3.5years. This age group children at times are  fussy eaters, parents really have to cajole them to eat food. This is the age when the children have just begun to explore the use of their fingers to eat food and hence they can be messy eaters.They are best at eating finger foods especially the dry kind. Small bites of food which they can hold and eat easily are the best for these children.

Parents to this age group children have to be extra careful with their diet as the kids grow very fast at this age. They need a diet rich in Calcium and Iron for proper growth.So, snacks or finger foods play an important role in providing them proper nutrition. Snacks which are small in size, easy to hold, tasty and rich in nutrients are the best for the preschoolers. Such snacks when given in their snack box can be easily eaten by them at the preschool or playgroup too.

The snack could be sweet or savory based on your kid’s liking but it has to be healthy and tasty which is a pre-requisite making this event very challenging.So don your chef’s cap and work with your grey cells tuned ‘ON’ and innovate healthy snacks for the preschoolers.
