E is for Entertainment. E is for Education. E is for Eating.
Whoever first thought of making alphabet-themed food is genius. Mommies everywhere are super grateful to you, oh wise letter-loving one. This Mommy in particular is extremely relieved such lettered food exists. It makes eating more enjoyable for the picky eater of a toddler.
I got these Earth’s Best Organic Sesame Street Letter of the Day Cookies from Healthy Options. This particular set had a picture of Cookie Monster on the box. I was choosing between this box of alphabet biscuits with Cookie Monster or another box of alphabet biscuits with a generic kid on the cover. Triggered by Sesame Street sentiment and a desperate need to feed my picky toddler healthy food, I went for the organic biscuits sold by the big blue cookie-eating monster. Oh yes, familiar characters do help make the sale.
Well, it worked. My son loves these biscuits. It’s great that he can continue learning about his alphabet while he eats. I also snack on these alphabet treats. They’re yummy!
The boy also loves bunny-shaped snacks, goldfish-shaped biscuits, Cheerios (lots and lots of letter O’s!), and the alphabet-shaped cereal Alpha-Bits. Animal cookies are also a hit.
Really, thank goodness for all these happy-shaped snacks. E is for Enjoyable Eats. E is for EUREKA! My picky toddler is eating!
Do you need to entertain your toddler through the food he eats? Share your tips and tricks! Let’s learn from each other.
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

I like that we get “help” through other things.

June 25, 2011 at 11:45 pm (13 years ago)hi ms tony. I saw your blog at nuffang. I agree with “aloi” you should write for a children show or make a website about it. to tell you the truth, this is more sincere than some cooking with children shows.
