They are already slices, so I would think the 1 year olds could just gum them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/treats-for-1st-birthday-at-daycare#post-2563818 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 12:42:53 +0000 Charm54 2563818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anniefannie: I've never heard of birthday daycare treats until Hb. It's definitely not a thing here, so depending on your area you might not have to worry about it ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/treats-for-1st-birthday-at-daycare#post-2563800 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 12:13:07 +0000 LindsayInNY 2563800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anniefannie: I also thought about pouches since they can either be fed or self-squeezed. And are healthier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/treats-for-1st-birthday-at-daycare#post-2563796 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 12:08:40 +0000 anniefannie 2563796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: yeah, i thought about bringing in extra puffs. Because puffs are awesome and all the babies who are able eat puffs seem to LOVE puffs. right?</p> <p>LO is the oldest in his room as of yesterday and isn't moving up for a few more weeks. So hes hanging with the youngins for his birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/treats-for-1st-birthday-at-daycare#post-2563794 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 12:05:46 +0000 LindsayInNY 2563794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anniefannie: That's sorta my issue too with the age. DD is the youngest in her new room and she'll be 1 at the end of the month. I don't know what all of their eating capabilities are quite yet. With a younger room, what about yogurt melts, puffs, teething crackers/biscuits? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/treats-for-1st-birthday-at-daycare#post-2563706 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 10:01:46 +0000 regberadaisy 2563706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anniefannie: depends on your center. Different places have different policies. Some don't allow it. I would definitely check with your director before hand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/treats-for-1st-birthday-at-daycare#post-2563689 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 09:45:18 +0000 anniefannie 2563689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do most parents bring in snacks for birthdays? My guy is 1 next week and I hadn't even thought that I would have to bring something in. Is there an alternative to snacks that I can bring? Some of the babies in his room are still really young... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/treats-for-1st-birthday-at-daycare#post-2563688 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 09:40:47 +0000 cascademom 2563688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sent mini cupcakes for his classroom and staff. When my big LO turns 4, I'm going to make sure to send enough cupcakes or other treat for staff as well. They really appreciate it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/treats-for-1st-birthday-at-daycare#post-2563682 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 09:32:39 +0000 LindsayInNY 2563682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chillybear: That might work... At least with finger food style berries.</p> <p>@wrkbrk: Not sure if they're odd enough to be dipping?</p> <p>@Pancakes: Oh, I've seen those before! Do you know if they can be cut up? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/treats-for-1st-birthday-at-daycare#post-2563472 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 19:26:46 +0000 FaithFertility 2563472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sent mini carrot cake cupcakes, With Greek yogurt frosting!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/treats-for-1st-birthday-at-daycare#post-2563454 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 19:06:01 +0000 Pancakes 2563454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: For a recent preschool birthday, a parent brought chocolate-dipped frozen banana bites from Trader Joe's. I thought that was a nice idea for something different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/treats-for-1st-birthday-at-daycare#post-2563437 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 18:27:35 +0000 regberadaisy 2563437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: if you strain Greek yogurt overnight with cheesecloth, it drains a ton of the liquid out. It takes on more of A frosting consistency. I would add some honey for sweetener. My daycare has gotten strict about cupcakes so even my "healthy" cupcakes are a no now. Which I appreciate and am okay with! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/treats-for-1st-birthday-at-daycare#post-2563373 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 15:44:08 +0000 SweetCaroline 2563373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: we did mini muffins, no sugar added. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/treats-for-1st-birthday-at-daycare#post-2563363 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 15:18:35 +0000 wrkbrk 2563363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: Cut up fruit with dark chocolate for dipping? Not too unhealthy but still fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/treats-for-1st-birthday-at-daycare#post-2563340 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 14:27:07 +0000 erinbaderin 2563340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could make muffins a bit more special by making them into "cupcakes" - we ice muffins with Green vanilla yogurt and then top them with berries and tell our son it's cake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/treats-for-1st-birthday-at-daycare#post-2563308 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 13:28:33 +0000 LindsayInNY 2563308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: True... I think they tend to serve fruit-cup type items. I thought about pouches. Yogurt melts might be good too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/treats-for-1st-birthday-at-daycare#post-2563306 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 13:26:14 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2563306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yogurt Melts. OMG they are like crack for babies. </p> <p>Pouches or even just fresh fruit would be great. I know most daycares dont serve fresh fruit consistently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/treats-for-1st-birthday-at-daycare#post-2563303 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 13:24:57 +0000 caterw 2563303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whole wheat fruit or veggie muffins with cream cheese "frosting"- looks festive like cupcakes, but good for you. I give them to DD (2.5) who *has* had sweets before and she thinks they are desserts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/treats-for-1st-birthday-at-daycare#post-2563296 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 13:10:24 +0000 autumnlove 2563296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some parents brought muffins and some brought in applesauce pouches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/treats-for-1st-birthday-at-daycare#post-2563292 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 13:06:14 +0000 regberadaisy 2563292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually do some sort of healthy muffin -- oatmeal, bananas, Greek yogurt. And a tube of puffs for the younger ones just starting solids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/treats-for-1st-birthday-at-daycare#post-2563291 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 13:03:59 +0000 Chillybear 2563291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we did berries and whip cream </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/treats-for-1st-birthday-at-daycare#post-2563289 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 13:00:44 +0000 LindsayInNY 2563289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: DD *loves* muffins! They serve them for breakfast once a week or so. I think usually just the plain corn type. That might work though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/treats-for-1st-birthday-at-daycare#post-2563288 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 12:59:25 +0000 Adira 2563288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about some sort of muffin? Blueberry muffin or some sort of banana muffin? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/treats-for-1st-birthday-at-daycare#post-2563283 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 12:55:39 +0000 LindsayInNY 2563283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Treat ideas please! Daycare is peanut-free. They do offer sweets at times but I'd like to avoid that since DD hasn't had them yet. So what's a good but healthier idea? </p>
