Frackers

 Homemade Heart "Frackers"

O loves a vast variety of vegan food, for which I am grateful. Child will devour seaweed snacks, durian, spicy lentils, broccoli, steamed bean buns...

But like any other kid her age, crackers can be the most beloved of all foods!

I noticed she goes for 'salt' and 'crunch' so crackers certainly fit the bill.

 "Same Same"

We found a recipe for Homemade Goldfish Crackers http://www.superhealthykids.com/healthy-kids-recipes/homemade-crackers-for-toddlers-alternative-to-goldfish-crackers.php, but since we don't eat cheese, we omitted and reduced the oil by a tablespoon. She wasn't in the mood to help me make them, but it was an easy recipe to get kids involved.

"Shoe"

However, she was very much in the mood to help me eat them! 

So much so, that we have to make another batch today (and they yielded about 40 small crackers!)

Guarding her food!

When she guards her food, you know they have the seal of approval!

EXPAND ON CRACKER'S

Matching Game. O immediately took two of the heart-shaped crackers and noticed they are "same same". If you want to get really fancy, or would like to fit a math lesson into your day, you can use various cookie cutters to increase the matching possibilities.

Imaginary Play. While O was eating she started talking about shoes. I was clueless, until I looked at what she had made! A little bite out of the heart and she had a "shoe". She then continued to make pairs!
