Letting your toddler handle their own food usually comes with an repetitive strain injury after handing them 100 pieces of fruit/cereal/crackers, one piece at a time. Tiny hands + tiny snacks usually means a whole lot of mess! That’s where snack traps, snack balls and snack cups come in handy!
Designed to be easily held, toddlers are able to dispense their own snacks on their own, without spilling the entire contents wherever they go.
The Boon Snack Ball (AU$16.95 at Babeaze) has a scratch resistant surface which makes the Snack Ball perfect for traveling and is also dishwasher safe.
The Munchee Mug Snack Cup (AU$12.95 at Haggus and Stookles) has a specially designed lid that opens when they put their hand inside – and closes up once their hand is out again.
Our favourite is the Snack Trap, which is available at Toys R Us (or Babies R Us) for under AU$20 for a pack of 2 (at last check).
Snack traps, snack balls and snack cups are a great way to decrease snack wastage and spills and keep your child happy and snacking on their own
