Almost everything available to her (food and containers) is at her level, but if there is something she wants that is out of her reach (frozen fruit), she just pushes a chair over and helps herself. We have a Britta filter water pitcher with the spigot in our fridge and she usually gets small sips through out the day. She won't eat baby carrots, but she has recently discover regular carrots and likes those. When she was smaller, I would set out an ice cube tray on the coffee table with a variety of safe snacks that she could cruise on by and munch.<br /><br />Thanks for all the great info!Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09611764295297526639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6089804831984654807.post-38581598257240339462010-01-27T09:29:05.910-08:002010-01-27T09:29:05.910-08:00What a great idea.

My son is only 18 months old, so he can really be trusted with a coffee filter full of snacks, but I'll have to give it a try in a few of months.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07226974050458872987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6089804831984654807.post-25057012822014650622010-01-27T08:50:26.036-08:002010-01-27T08:50:26.036-08:00What a great idea!

We originally bought the huge bag of organic carrots for juicing, but lately they don't even make it to the juicer because E gets to them first! I am surprised he hasn't turned orange. I love the idea of the individual bowls in the cupboards - I'm off to dedicate a shelf to my "knee-high" little one.

He's been making his breakfast every morning (except for hot foods of course) for a year now. I ordered his pitchers through a Montessori catalog, but they have the same ones now at Crate & Barrel.<br />Hmmm... he's been off bananas lately, but I bet he'd love it with peanut butter. Great idea!<br /><br />Hi Christa, Great site!

We gave our son a drawer for cups and rags so he and his friends could help themselves to water from the fridge door. <br />A favorite snack, and sometimes meal, is a banana sliced in half lengthwise topped with peanut butter and sprinkled with carob chips. You could use raisins or flax seed or something he can sprinkle on himself instead of the carob chips.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07605105314553803924noreply@blogger.com
