Whether you are a new mom or not, you know you have to keep your children entertained and happy day in and day out.
The best tools for this thankless job are toys and snacks.
Mothers are well known for their resourcefulness and organization and always need to be at the top of their game and able to respond when the child begins to get bored or hungry.
Providing healthy snacks can help keep Timmy or Suzie happy and content when they become cranky.
The 3rd most important snack item to have in your diaper bag is graham crackers.
Lightly sweet, and easy to digest, these little gems can become soft when sucked on.
This makes them good candidates for your toddler.
The second most popular snack for Timmy is the animal cracker.
Just like the graham cracker, these little cookies are a good for a quick snack and are easily carried around in a zippered bag.
They dissolve quickly and do not contain a ton of sugar.
They are certainly a favorite of many kids, since they can identify the animal as an elephant or giraffe as part of the game which can help cure their boredom.
The single most popular snack that you will see in many designer diaper bags is the overall champion, the Cheerio.
Cheerios have been and will be a fan favorite among 2-3 year olds for a long time.
Mix and match with the different varieties like multi-grain or yogurt covered versions to add to their snack time.
All these snacks can be somewhat messy, so be sure to have some wipes handy for a quick cleanup when junior is done.
