Picnic Snack Grab
Parent sets up a floor picnic with healthy finger foods, creating a relaxed environment for toddler to practice fine motor skills while learning about healthy eating. The agent coaches the parent to observe grasping techniques, hand coordination, and food manipulation as the toddler independently selects and eats snacks.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Spread a blanket or tablecloth on the floor in a clean, safe area. Prepare small, bite-sized finger foods appropriate for toddler (cheese cubes, whole wheat crackers, cut grapes, etc.). Place snacks on a low tray or plate within toddler's reach. Parent should sit on the floor with toddler.
