@skyfaller Kid1 liked peas as a toddler, shelled and in pods. Also corn kernels and diced cooked carrots. I'd put a few things out on the high chair tray for snacking while I made dinner. Small bits of soft veggies are good for little grasping fingers and later good practice for using a spoon. It's pretty easy to clean up spills, too, though peas sometimes roll a long way

Kid2 liked none of that, so ymmv

@skyfaller

It strongly differs from toddler to toddler.
Mine changed what they liked about every 2-3 weeks. Just try everything that is available. Don't buy to much at one, because it can change from one day to the next. Make sure to vary and not just concentrate on one thing that works well, because than you will suddenly have nothing.
With ours, cut up fruit and vegetables worked well and for traveling, we usually had some dry food based on puffed corn meal or legume. Just make sure, they don't have salt or spices or anything in it.

@skyfaller if I don’t have anything sliced to hand my kid has always really loved Once Upon A Farm’s tractor wheel bars! They’re pretty minimal ingredients-wise for a packaged snack

@skyfaller for our (now 16yo) kiddo, when he was that age, it was a lot of cucumbers because that’s what he would eat. He liked those veggie straws at school, but he’d never eat them with us. The fruit sauce pouches were usually a hit, until they weren’t. Oh, he also was very into plain tofu cubes at that age. It was one of few proteins he would eat. Toddler food preferences are a constantly changing puzzle.

@skyfaller Our kid loves cucumber and olives as snacks, also cheese
