Christmassy foods for baby/toddlers
I recently popped into Asda and stumbled across some festively shaped foods; as a mum to a baby and toddler I like to make meal times as fun as I can, this is my trick to getting my 17 month old daughter, Evangeline to try different foods! And I was thrilled to see that they do foods in shapes to highlight Christmas. Some of these foods could be placed in a stocking, or simply given when you feel. I'd like to add that I have included chocolate too, although my daughter doesn't like it - some babies/toddlers do; and in my opinion what you give your child is entirely up to you - so I thought I'd include some chocolate!
So I've scoured the internet, well online food shops to find some festive treats/foods that you could get for your little ones, I've popped them all in my basket! Theres a few different shops, not just one in particular - I'll pop the link to each item below each paragraph!
Asda - Christmas tree crumpets

I just had to add these, making breakfast that little bit more festive with some Christmas tree crumpets! These are quick to prepare and only take 3-4 minutes to cook, so are fab for tiny fingers and a quick snack/breakfast. The Christmas tree crumpets can be topped by any of your little ones favourite toppings, and how about letting them decorate it for some festive fun? These come in a pack of 6 and are suitable for vegetarians; which is great! They are low in fat, saturates and sugars & sit in medium on the salts - so overall pretty healthy!
These cost £1.00 which is a complete bargain! To buy these or to have a look heres the link - Christmas tree crumpets
Asda - 12 Party chicken Christmas trees

Much like above these are Christmas tree shaped; so are pretty festive. These can be cooked to enjoy during meal times or as stated on the bag, at parties. Christmas tree chicken can be used to make dinner time more fun for your little one as they aren't shaped like regular chicken! These take around 11 minutes in the oven and must be cooked from frozen; so can be easily stored in your freezer! Another bonus is these come in packs of 12 pieces/trees which means they can be split into several meals or feed the whole family. These have low sugars, but medium in everything else.
Asda's Christmas tree chicken is also £1.00 so another great bargain. To buy these or to have a look heres the link - 12 chicken Christmas trees
Asda - Muller corner kids Christmas mini crunchy reindeers with vanilla yogurt

I love the idea of Christmas yogurts, and being honest I'd never heard of these before! The muller corners have tiny little reindeers that can be tipped in with the vanilla yogurt for a festive, fun, but healthy treat. Not to forget they have festive packaging too!
These are on the website on offer for 2 for £3 or they are marked as £2 each. Each pack contains 4 yogurts. To buy these or to have a look heres the link - Muller corner Christmas yogurts
Asda - free from Christmas chocolate coins

I love chocolate coins, well I love any chocolate. Ironically my daughter really isn't keen so tends to avoid chocolate. But for me, these are sooo christmassy - I remember receiving these in my stocking when I was little. What I love about these is they are from the free from range meaning they are free from dairy, gluten & wheat - so can be enjoyed by most. I just had to pick these because they are ever so festive to me!
These are also at a bargain price of £1.20. To buy these or to have a look heres the link -Asda free from chocolate coins
