Healthy Snacks for Toddlers

Directions Take a large mixing bowl, and stir together the cereal, raisins and oatmeal. Pour the corn syrup and brown sugar into a small saucepan, and heat till it starts bubbling. Keep stirring, and try to squash any lumps that may form. Once the mixture is boiling, take it off the heat and add peanut butter and vanilla to the mixture. Mix well and then add cereal and give it one good last stir. In about 10 minutes, it should cool completely, which is when you add the chocolate chips. Spread the sticky mixture in a 9''x13'' pan, and once it cools completely, cut it into your very own homemade granola bars. As a parent, this is the ideal time for you to mold your child's eating patterns. Your toddler cannot run to the store to buy cookies or candy or (if you've kept him/her away from them) be aware of their existence. Make the best use of the fact that you can control your child's diet and inculcate habits of healthy eating by ensuring that meals comprise of healthy foods, such as fruits and vegetables. While sugary foods need not be avoided entirely, try to ensure that they are consumed in small quantities, at one go, and followed by brushing of the teeth. Always keep some healthy snacks for toddlers with you, so that whenever you are out or get delayed in a traffic jam, they have something to munch on when they get hungry and so, do not get cranky.
