Websites/Books For Feeding Toddlers?

One of the best books has been Annabel Karmel's "First Meals" for me. It goes until they are young kids but starts at 4 months. My son has enjoyed so many great tastes and he's only 9 months old! It's great to make healthy and cheap meals for them instead of fast food/or jar food. You'll love this book for it's extreme knowledge on calories/vitamins/allergies and more!

I love the Book First meals by Annabel Karmel. I have used it with all three of my children. the food is healthy and fun!!!I also like sugar free toddlers.

I went to the library for my son who is now 11. I also just bought a book for my 6 month old called Just for kids. It shows how to make food fun when she starts eating real food.

I heard about a toddler cookbook awhile ago; I believe it was called Toddler Bistro.

I love FamilyFun.com, it is a wonderful site. I am now receiving their magazine. Also, you can print or download fun things from the site like coloring pages, games, and travel fun. I receive emails daily.

Try familyfun.com. They have great recipes and activites for the kids. Have fun.

I don't know if you've heard of Pampered Chef, but we have a kids cookbook and it is very cute. All of the idea's are easy and fun for the kids. It a easel design with a laminated cover and stain resistant pages. It costs $15.50 plus tax. Let me know if your interested.

Thanks,

Hope this helps!

Here are some ideas for fun, healthy foods:

1. Slice a banana in half length-wise. Spread peanut butter on it, and sprinkle raisins or craisins on it. We call it "Ants on a Log", and my kids love it. Just please don't tell them it's (gasp) healthy.

2. Use a large cookie cutter to cut sandwiches in fun shapes. It's a fun way to cut the crust off.

3. Cut up canteloupe or strawberries (or whatever your daughter likes), cover with vanilla yogurt (we like Dannon Light & Fit), and sprinkle with granola. Call it a sundae. Even if you have to drizzle a little Nestle Quik on top, it's still worth it.

4. Make homemade pizza together. Kids love to eat what they make, and you can put some fairly healthy toppings on pizza, if you're creative.

5. Apple slices with peanut butter. Kids love to dip.

6. I think Pampered Chef has a kids cookbook, and I'm sure it's fabulous.

7. Try allrecipes.com or bettycrocker.com for other good recipes for kids.

I hope this helps. I can't wait to read the other responses to get some good ideas for myself!

If you go to the library just put into the search childrens cookbooks. Also kraftfoods.com.
