Safety Notes
- Ensure all fruit pieces are soft and age-appropriate size
- Crush cereal/rice cakes to avoid hard chunks
- Always supervise during eating
- Check that berries are cut small enough for your child's age
Chef's Tips
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for growing toddlers - they need the healthy fats
- Make the "crunch" layer very soft for younger toddlers
- Let your toddler help layer ingredients for fun sensory play
- Prepare ingredients night before for super quick morning assembly
- Freeze berries slightly for a cool summer treat
