My little guy is busy. Very busy! A very busy 4.5yr old boy, who tumbles, bikes, skips, climbs and plays all day long. From the moment he wakes he is on the go, barely breaking for food, until he crashes at days end and re-charges for yet another day of fun.
So finding something quick and easy for him to snack on, that he actually likes, is a priority.
And the biggest issue? He is picky.
Pickiest of the bunch so far. No meat, and very few veggies make their way past his lips. It is a fight to get that ONE BEAN in during dinner, and I am always looking for something other than CHEESE to throw at him on the go.
He wants fast food. Food he can gulp, that fills his belly and is easy to toss into his bike basket for later, and as a fruit lover he will go for anything fruity and delicious.
A friend brought over a few of the new Heinz fruit pouches, and little dude was immediately drawn to them. Bright colours and an easy opening lid, and they fit perfectly in the bike basket!
He devoured the first one, said it was “super tasty” and then, as little boys will do, begged for another. The Heinz little kid snack pouches are a great size for little kids on the go. With a hefty dose of fruit (our little guy loves the apple and concord grape) they are perfect for kids age 1-4.
He also tried the Heinz original biscuits. A great first snack for little kids (but the bigger kids seem to love them too) With calcium and iron, they are a nice snack to toss in (instead of those chocolate chip cookies)
In fact, he seemed to respond to them the same way as a coveted treat. . .
Check out his face when the dog stole one of his Heinz little Kids biscuits. Luckily big sister saved the day by sharing her stash (yes, even the 8 year old wanted to snack on them)
We love having a variety of snacks that he can grab and go with. Keeping him fuelled up and moving this summer (and not succumbing to the growlies) is best for everyone’s sanity. The little kids biscuits and oatmeal & yogurt bars are a tasty choice to keep him energized.
Check out the great selection of Heinz LITTLE KIDS treats and snacks in your local shops and get your kids snacking on the go this summer and pop in and visit them on Facebook where they have lots of great tips (and possibly a few fun things happening as well)
