Snacks that baby can feed themselves, from about 7 months old on, is a great way to encourage fine motor skill development.

Some examples of fruits and veggies I use:
Peaches, Apples, Pear, Mango, Banana, Plums
I usually do a mix of veggies and fruit, with a little extra banana for sweetness 🙂

Recipe Notes
Tip: If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziploc bag and cut a corner to squeeze through. *To make your own Oat Flour or Brown Rice Flour, simply pulse in food processor or high-speed blender until the consistency of flour!
I can’t wait to hear if your little ones enjoy this snack! Please let me know in the comments if you found any new variations or have any tips also!
