Now I don’t know about you, but I am always on the look out for new and interesting snacks for the kids lunchboxes. I know I would be bored having the same things every day, so I do try and look out for different things when I am doing the shopping. I recently came across Kiddylicious on another blog, and we have been lucky enough to be sent a selection of the tasty, healthy snacks. Although they are primarily designed with growing toddlers in mind, I knew that the older 2 would be fans too.
What did we get?
- Wibble Wobble jelly pots (apple & blackcurrant and pear & strawberry). The pieces of fruit set in the jelly are small and soft, so they are perfect for little ones to eat. Gemma loved these in her packed lunch – they are the perfect size for a lunchtime snack or an after dinner treat.
- Banana Crispie Tiddlers – puffed rice snacks, flavoured with real fruit puree. These were a huge hit with Max – they dissolve in the mouth, and he must have liked the taste as they didn’t last long at all!
- Gingerbread Buddies – all 3 of my children love gingerbread, and so these were a real treat. They are a great size for little hands, and there are the perfect amount in the bag for a mid morning snack – Max likes them with a cup of milk.
- Smoothie melts (banana, mango & passion fruit and strawberry & banana). These are almost sweet like in appearance, and so really appeal to children. They look like a smoothie, all whizzed up into a soft, jelly like snack. I loved the sound of these, but Gemma and Jacob weren’t keen. They said they didn’t like the texture, although Max and a friend shared them during a picnic at the park and they went down really well.
I love that the snacks are providing 1 of their 5 a day – without them even noticing – every little bag has a whole portion of fruit or veg. The branding is clearly designed with toddlers in mind – it is fun and colourful, and makes the snacks something that kids want to grab. All in all, we approve, and the Kiddylicious range now features highly on our weekly shopping list.
