Use Plastic Easter Eggs For SnacksWe have all kinds of the plastic easter eggs leftover from Easter. I use them for snack containers. I put cereal, goldfish crackers, small marshmallows, etc.
Getting a Toddler to Eat VeggiesBecause I am always anxious about getting veggies in my toddler, I devised a new way to get them in his mouth! I bought several popsicle trays at my local dollar store. I pureed fruit, yogurt, and veggies together and poured them in the trays.
