They also work for breakfast, lunches and snacks! I&#8217;ve been sharing easy toddler meals since my oldest was 18 months old and I have quite a collection of toddler plate photos. <strong>These easy toddler meals are geared toward kids ages 1-4.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for more ideas, check out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/healthy-toddler-meals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>100 Healthy Toddler Meals <\/strong><\/a>(another large roundup post)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/50-toddler-meal-ideas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">50+ Toddler Meal Ideas (PDF Download)<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/packed-lunch-ideas-for-kids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A Month Of Easy Packed Lunches (Ebook)<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Important note because someone always asks- the plates are from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3oksqKc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Re-Play Recycled<\/a>. (affiliate link) They&#8217;re our favorite. I also love their cups and bowls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looking for toddler dinner ideas?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, let&#8217;s cover a few points on feeding toddlers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much should my toddler eat?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I try to judge how my kids are eating by looking at the big picture. If they don&#8217;t eat one meal, they&#8217;ve likely either eaten well at 1 or 2 of the other meals, or had a few too many snacks that day. And if they haven&#8217;t, then they&#8217;ve usually eaten fairly well the day before or will the day after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should I feed my toddler?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When kids are toddlers, one of the most important things you can do is offer variety. Check out the plates below but I encourage you to sub other fruits and veggies based on what&#8217;s in season, things they have or haven&#8217;t tried yet, child preference, chewing ability, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I try to offer several healthy fat sources during the day because it&#8217;s so important for brain development. That can include things like avocado, eggs, full fat dairy, nut and seed butters, fatty fish like salmon, foods cooked in oil like avocado oil and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to give my toddler for lunch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This post is just meant to give ideas. All kids eat different amounts and varieties. No my kids don&#8217;t eat everything I serve them \ud83d\ude42 I share these roundups not because I think you should be giving your kids these exact meals\u2026but because I hope that perhaps they&#8217;ll give you some inspiration or spark some new ideas! Maybe you&#8217;ll just see a few components of a few meals and think &#8220;hey! I&#8217;ve never tried serving that to my kid&#8221;. I consider that a win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Toddler won&#8217;t eat veggies?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like all kids, mine have favorite foods so there are some repeats of meals and specific brand products in these photos. Like most people, we have our favorite brands. I&#8217;ll try to mention some of them in the first picture they show up in. Similarly, if the recipes are on my blog, I&#8217;ll link to them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your toddler doesn&#8217;t eat the vegetables and other foods you serve, the most important thing you can do is keep offering them. Here are some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/kid-friendly-vegetable-recipes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">kid-friendly vegetable recipes<\/a>. Kids need repeated exposures, especially to things like vegetables, so get creative and keep offering them. Try different shapes and forms- raw, cooked, steamed, sauteed, roasted, hot, cold, blended and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should I not feed my toddler? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid choking hazards under age 4. I cover <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/healthy-snacks-for-toddlers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">choking hazards and toddler snack ideas in this post<\/a>. Also keep an eye on added sugar and sodium levels in the foods you&#8217;re giving them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does my toddler need a multivitamin?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>My friend and fellow RD Kacie wrote a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mamaknowsnutrition.com\/the-best-multivitamins-for-toddlers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">great post all about the best multivitamins for toddlers<\/a><\/strong>. As always, we are dietitains but not YOUR child&#8217;s dietitian.
