Got toddlers? Then you know busy, you know messy, and we know that you know picky. While a piece of fruit or a string cheese are options, and packaged snacks like cookies and chips make toddlers smile, we all know that parents are constantly trying to get as much valuable nutrition into those tiny tummies as possible. 

That’s why there is no time like the present to dive in—tastebuds first—to favourite toddler food types to give you a bunch of creative snack ideas to satisfy those little humans at any time of day. If you’re on the hunt for creative snack ideas for toddlers, check out our snacking guide with the best healthy snacks for little kids. Yum, yum! 

Dipping Toddler Snacks

Toddlers love to dip. The act of upgrading their food with a condiment gives them a sense of control and is just plain fun. Hey, it’s also good for their pincer grasp and fine motor control, so everybody wins when the dips come out. Here are some good snack ideas for toddlers that go beyond nuggets and fries.

Quinoa Pizza Bites with a Pizza Dipping Sauce

This easy toddler snack recipe combines the plant-based goodness of quinoa with tasty, gooey cheese for a kid-friendly snack idea that’s both yummy and healthy. 

Cheesy Zucchini Tots & Savory Dip

Another sneaky vegetable idea, these tasty tots can be dipped in tzatziki, plain Greek yogurt, or of course ketchup. 

Justataste.com

Gingerbread Cookies & Milk 

Try out this healthy and delicious toddler cookie recipe and serve them with your favourite milk variety whether cow’s, almond, oat, or otherwise. 

Apple Slices in Sweet Dip  

Try a plate of apple slices with peanut butter, Nutella, or something more creative that they could make? A homemade chocolate dip …

Taco Hummus 

This savoury, salty, easy to prepare dip is kid-friendly and perfect for Taco Tuesday…or any other day of the week. Serve with tortilla chips, toasted pita points, or vegetable sticks. 

Sweet Toddler Snacks

Who doesn’t like the sweet stuff? Most kids sure do! But indulging your little one’s sweet tooth doesn’t have to be detrimental to their health. While ice cream and sweets are ok on special occasions, here are some of our favourite healthy snack ideas for toddlers, that just so happen to taste sweet, too. 

Watermelon Stars

The easiest toddler snack idea there ever was: sliced watermelon, star-shaped cookie cutter, plate, the end.  

Banana Pops 

This refreshing snack is great in summer (but we think it’ll be a hit with most kiddos any time of year)! Your toddler will love the sprinkles for a pretty, crunchy treat, but essentially? They’re eating a banana and yogurt. #WINNING  

Fruit Skewers 

Bite-size fruit on a stick is the perfect answer to “what’s for snack?” Try arranging your fruit selection in rainbow order or using coloured skewers to make them even more fun for toddlers. 

Peach Summer Salad 

Think your toddler won’t eat salad? Think again. Try out a basic green salad with a little fruit, you’ll be surprised … 

Berry & Spinach Gummies 

Gummies are basically the best part about being a kid, but the packaged ones contain little to no nutritional value and are packed with sugar. How about trying out homemade gummies instead.

Crunchy Toddler Snacks

That satisfying crunch isn’t something just adults look for in a snack. It’s always a good time for sensory exploration with littles, even at the kitchen counter. Make snack time special with our favourite crunchy bites for little kids.

Animal Toast 

Whip up this absolute cuteness and watch it disappear right away! A balance of crunchy and smooth elements makes these sweet animal faces on toast an excellent idea for your little one.  

Celery Butterflies 

That satisfying, juicy crunch of celery is something everyone deserves in their lives. But if it’s been a challenge getting over the hump to have your toddler actually try it, give these a go with a couple of colourful dips.  

Homemade Cheese Crackers 

All of the salty, crunchy goodness of their favourite cheese cracker snack, but without the preservatives, extra ingredients, and unnecessary cost? Yes, please.  

Roasted Carrot Strips 

Nom, nom! Who says potatoes have all the fun? If your little one is a fan of chips, consider this healthy homemade alternative with a pretty colour pop. 

Apple Boats 

The sweet crunch of apples with a few little upgrades and a cute shape! What toddler wouldn’t want to try this snack idea?

“Let Me Help!” Toddler Snack Ideas

Toddler fingers are into everything! Sometimes it feels like a battle to get your little one to not “help,” because it can add to clean up time and make life run a little less smoothly. But when it comes to these easy and cute snack ideas for toddlers, embrace their desire to help you and make it a fun activity for you both.  

Fruit & Pita Pizzas 

Let your little chef get creative helping you make “pizzas” of pita bread topped with a layer of their favourite sweet sauce or jelly and an arrangement of fruit. 

Veggie Faces 

These irresistible veggie faces are a brilliant solution to the vegetable crisis many toddler-parents face. Not only is your little one in control of which vegetables they’re eating here, they’ll also be much likelier to try (and maybe finish!) what’s on their plate when it looks this cute…and they helped! 

Three-Ingredient Banana Cookies 

The fewer the ingredients, the better the recipe tends to be for busy parents. Not to mention that cookies like these, that get the bulk of their sweetness from bananas rather than white sugar, are always a healthier option. But don’t worry, your toddler will love them, and will love helping you to throw the ingredients in the bowl to make them, too. 

Fairy Toast 

This utterly delicious, mostly just fun snack for little kids involves a piece of toast, food colouring in soft butter, and dried fruit, nuts, and sprinkles for a tasty crunch—and a pop of pretty. Spread on the good stuff and leave to the sprinkling!

Cereal Necklace 

Using yarn, ribbon, or string you have lying around the house, show your toddler how to string up an edible necklace of Cheerio’s, Froot Loops, and their other favourite cereals with “holes.” This on-the-go snack is an oldie but a very goodie. (Just make sure you’re supervising when your tot wears their necklace—and make them take it off at naptime and bedtime.)

Feel free to add to our toddler snack ideas … I hope you’ll give these a try, enjoy!

My life revolves around food and family and I love it! A true food lover and always on the look out for a new recipe to try or to taste. So obsessed that I only book holiday destinations where the food is halal so that I can taste everything. A business graduate who took a career break to start a family. I have been blessed with 4 children, all under 10 years old. They drive me crazy in the best possible way.
