Safety Notes
  • Ensure rice cakes are appropriate size for child's mouth
  • Break into smaller pieces if needed
  • Always supervise during eating
  • Make sure child chews thoroughly before swallowing
  • Avoid if child tends to stuff large amounts in mouth
Chef's Tips
  • Choose brown rice cakes for more nutrition than white rice versions
  • Buy mini size specifically for toddlers - regular size can be too large
  • Store in airtight container to prevent staleness
  • Plain, unsalted versions are best for toddlers
  • Serve immediately after adding toppings to prevent sogginess
