• Learning valuable skills like counting, language, and science

How Halloween Toast Fits Into Baby-Led Weaning

• Ideal finger food: Lightly toasted bread is the perfect texture for babies. Cut each toast into 2-inch thick strips to make it easier for babies 6-9 months to hold. You’ll want to omit any hard, small ingredients like chocolate chips and raisins for babies under 12 months. Also be sure to squish any round ingredients like blueberries and take the fiberous parts out of the clementine. As always, make sure all ingredients are easily squished between your thumb and forefinger. 
• Encourages self-feeding. These Halloween toasts support development of self-feeding skills and autonomy at mealtime, as do all baby-led weaning safe foods. 
• Balanced nutrition. These baby-led weaning snacks use nutrient-dense spreads packed with brain-building fats and exposure to top allergens like peanuts and dairy. Whole-grain bread, fruit, veggies, and seeds provide a good source of fiber. The fruit and vegetables also provide a good source of vitamin C to help absorb iron from the nut and seed spreads and bread. 

Best Tips for Halloween Toast

• Lightly toast the bread to make it the perfect texture for baby-led weaning and toddlers
• Each recipe is perfect for toddlers and kids of all ages and can be easily modified to be safe for baby-led weaning
• Kids can help assemble and choose toppings for their own toasts to be involved in the process!
