They both had a bowl of veg soup with some bread and then they have these snack plates the elephant plate I used for arya when she was smaller now i can use for snack division for shay
Trying to keep both kids occupied and full without feeding them a load of rubbish these little snack plates or trays are the best way for my kids I think as it gives them variety to graze between different flavours adding a small treat element keeps them interested
