Snack time

After months and months of looking for an interesting place to put Chelyn's snack, I found this corner shelf from an etsy shop,  buckcreekfurnishings. This beautiful corner shelf is truly like a tresure box filled with carefully chosen healthy snacks. The cabinet is just the right size for the little hands too!

In the cabinet, I have prepared  foods that are acceptable to eat in appropriate quantities. Every morning after the breakfast, Chelyn  relishes the chance to prepare  fruits or vegetables to add with the rest of her snacks. She washes  and cut them all by herself too!


Chelyn is free to prepare snack at any time and she proudly sets the snack table with a placemat, a napkin, a plate and a cup.  This creates an ability to make decisions and leads to independence.

She seems more eager to eat and more satisfied. And from my perspective, the added bonus of taking the time to create this environment is enormous.This activites are great way to encourage eating healthy snacks for growth and development, supporting life long healthy eating habits.

And just today, I was really excited to run into thekidcancook, a resource for creative ways to feed young children, with a focus on balance and presentation. After all, raising a healthy kid is not so difficult! Isn't it?
