Raisin snack packs

Raisins are grapes that have been dried up. Nearly all of the nutrients in fresh grapes are there – but come in a smaller volume. There is excellent iron in a raisin that is necessary for the growth, energy, and oxygen. The raisin carbohydrates provide low-fat power. Grapefruits are a healthier choice for chocolate and candy that children usually prefer to eat. The raisins are available in different colors, sizes, and flavors. To tempt them, you can give a variety of raisins in different colors. Raisin snack packs are simpler to pick up and eat than other processed foods. You can start feeding them raisins as soon as a child is able to eat finger foods that usually occur when a child is between 8 and 9 months old.

You can cut the dried fruit in the beginning and offer the child little pieces of raisin. You can break clumps of raisins and give the kid in the bowl one at a time to eat.

Yogurt

Yogurt is a great children's snack because it is a great source of calcium and protein. Calcium is particularly essential to growing children's bones.

There are also live bacteria in some yogurts which support the digestive system.

The majority of yogurts marketed for children are high in sugar. Instead, pick regular, fat yogurt and add fresh fruit or a sprinkling of sweetening mixed mush.

But don't give honey to children under the age of 12 months because they are more likely to develop a serious infection, botulism
