What you need
- A dry snack your toddler enjoys – this could be pieces of fruit or vegetable
What to do
- Show your toddler that they can cup their hand to hold their snack.
- Place a couple of their chosen snacks into their cupped hand.
- Show them how to use their fingers and thumb of their other hand to pick up and eat their snack.
- Give them time to pick them up and eat before giving more snacks – it might take a little while to get the hang of the movements at first.
Always supervise your toddler when they’re eating.
