Finger food ideas

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Besides the purees which DS is just devouring these days, I need some finger food ideas to offer as snacks or for mealtime. Even if it's obvious!! I need to make a list of these foods and put them on our fridge.
So far, he's had butter crackers, cheese puffs crunchies (from Gerber), cooked carrots, some green beans and banana. I'd like to offer maybe corn or something along those lines to help him with his pincer grasp. He's 7 months old.
Also, I guess he's still exploring, but I'm not sure he's really consuming the table food that I've offered him. He just sort of naws on it, eats what he wants and then it ends up in his lap or his bib.

Thank you!

Avocado.

How about small peas? They're mushier than corn, but could still work that pincer grasp.

Cooked butternut squash or sweet potato.
