We travel a lot although it is almost always by car so inevitable that means lots of snacking in the car. One of the hardest things for me is to make sure the snacking is healthy and that is where Sprout Baby Food comes in. I have been using their foods for a long while now and I am happy to report that both my children love their food. The food pouches or so easy to use and must taste good or they would not keep eating them. Right now Sprout has some traveling tips for you when you are traveling with your tiny toddlers. I think these are some great tips!
Traveling as a family is not always an easy task. Whether
it’s flying across the country or taking a road trip, toddlers have a hard time
keeping their energy confined to a small space. While there’s no simple
solution for plane delays or small seats, parents can make a world of
difference by incorporating activity and healthy food into travel.Eating fast food on the road may seem convenient, but for
growing children, these meals won?t provide much-needed nutrition and energy to
last the trip. For road trips, you can bring fresh fruit and snack in the car.
Traveling by plane is a little trickier with strict security on fruits and
vegetables. Sprout baby foods has 3.17 ounce pouches of pureed fruit and
vegetable recipes that can be brought through security.These pouches are re-sealable as well, so your little one
can snack are their leisure. Here are some ways to incorporate fun and food
into travels to make mom and dad’s job a whole lot easier:
- Bring a variety of flavors so your toddler can
decide what to eat. Toddlers love being independent and being able to choose
their favorite snack allows them to be in charge and eat what they like from a
variety of healthy choices.- Eat the rainbow. For a long travel day, challenge
your little one to eat a food of each color of the rainbow. Bring along crayons
so they can draw the healthy colorful snacks they?ve eaten throughout the day.- No-mess art projects. The portable DVD player
will only keep your child occupied for so long and will actually make them more
restless. Keep them busy and active by bringing along some clay in a variety of
colors. Creating with their hands and having quality attention from mom and dad
will be a treat for your toddler.- Help your toddler learn a more complicated card
game. Teach them to play Uno or Slap Jack on the plane. These games are
trickier to learn and there’s plenty of time while sitting in the car or
waiting for a plane.- Fun geography. Whether you?re flying over or
driving through, kids love learning about new places and saying that they?ve
been to ?new states?. Print out a blank map and let your child color in the
state they?ve seen or visited.
As you are taking those Spring Break trips and planning those summer ones make sure to put Sprout foods on your packing list. Even though Big Sis is 4.5 years old she still loves to snack on the pouches. I especially like that the pouches make no mess and I can just throw them away when we are done. I also like how good they are for my girls.
