Use this list of safe, nutritious, and easy to eat finger foods for baby to help you know exactly what (and how) to offer at meals and snacks. Plus, find the best first finger foods, troubleshooting tips, and visuals of foods broken down by food group to keep things easy!
Finger Foods for Baby
After baby starts solids and is ready to move onto finger foods, you may feel a little confused by exactly what to serve and how to serve it. Which is totally normal because it can be scary to let baby feed themselves this way and we may not have any experience doing this—or we may have totally forgotten from our last kiddo!
This list of finger foods for baby will cover some great first finger foods to start with, then set you up with plenty of healthy options from each food group.
TIP: Find more info on starting solids here and the best foods to start with if doing baby led weaning or purees with baby.
Healthy Baby Food
I love sharing these ideas for baby food since they are easy to prepare and serve and because I know how hard it can be to continue to come up with flavorful and healthy meals and snacks for our little ones. Let me tell you, I’m on my third kiddo and it can be such a challenge to feed him during the chaos of parenting the rest of my crew! These foods are wholesome and nutritious—perfect for your baby.
TIP: I’m a big fan of SpoonfulONE, a company that offers the most complete way to introduce food allergens to our kids. They make mix-ins, puffs, and crackers that are yummy and easy for babies and toddlers to eat. Learn more about their pediatrician-approved baby foods here. (sponsored link)
Best First Finger Foods
When baby is around 9 months, you’ll notice that they’re able to pick up smaller pieces of food with two fingers. This is known as the “pincer grasp” and is a sign that they’re ready to start finger foods. To be clear, when I say “finger foods” I mean small pieces of food that a baby (or toddler) can feed themselves.
Here are some of my favorite ones to start with that are all super soft, safe to eat, and easy to pick up.
- Scrambled egg, broken up into small pieces
- Roasted sweet potato mashed and broken up into small pieces
- Fresh raspberries, broken up into smaller pieces
- Oatmeal, cooked according to package directions and allowed to cool
- Tofu, diced and sauteed lightly or steamed
- Ground beef, chicken, or turkey, broken up into small pieces or lightly mashed meatballs
- Shredded cheese or crumbled goat cheese
- Mashed sweet potato, in little pieces
- Peanut butter puffs
TIP: You can serve the tofu, ground meat, or meatballs in veggie puree from a pouch or a simple marinara sauce for extra moisture and flavor. Learn more about how and why to introduce peanut butter.
Finger Foods for Baby: Fruits and Veggies
Some of my favorite early fruits and veggies to serve babies are:
- Mashed roasted sweet potato, broken up into small pieces
- Warmed frozen peas, slightly mashed if desired
- Roasted Zucchini
- Diced Roasted Sweet Potato or Butternut Squash
- Fresh blueberries, cut in half or quarters
- Fresh raspberries, broken into small pieces
- Banana, broken into small segments (they are less slippery this way versus slicing them)
- Avocado, diced and mashed slightly (be sure it’s ripe and very soft)
TIP: A good rule of thumb is to serve pieces of food that are about the size of a pea to start and soft enough that they are easy to squish between your fingers. This will be easy for baby to pick up and eat and will also reduce chances of choking.
Finger Food Ideas: Carbohydrates
Offering complex carbohydrates can provide fiber, a variety of textures, B vitamins, and more. Try these with your baby.
- Spinach pancakes (moisten with applesauce or plain yogurt if needed; this recipe is particularly moist and great for babies)
- Oatmeal, cooked according to package directions and allowed to cool
- Baby Puffs
- Peanut Butter Puffs
- Rice (it’s easiest if it’s in little clumps so baby can pick it up; this Coconut Rice or this Cheesy Rice are both good options)
- Baby Banana Muffin
- O cereal (soften in nondairy unsweetened milk or yogurt as needed)
- Baked Oatmeal, diced
Finger Food Ideas: Proteins
Offering proteins will continue to expose baby to a range of nutrients. These are my go-tos for babies newer to finger foods—and toddlers too.
- Shredded cheese (thicker cuts are a little easier to pick up)
- Tofu, diced and sauteed lightly or steamed
- Flaked cooked wild salmon
- Lightly mashed meatballs
- Shredded chicken, cut up finely (we love this Butter Chicken to share with baby)
- Ground beef, turkey, or chicken, broken into smaller pieces
- Lightly mashed beans
- Scrambled eggs, broken up into small pieces
- Diced egg muffins
I’d love to hear any questions you may have, or if you have foods that your babies enjoy that I didn’t include here.

Easy, Healthy, Perfect for Kids and Babies!
These sweet Banana Spinach Pancakes are a favorite when you’re looking to boost nutrition in a favorite breakfast option. Or to have a little fun at the breakfast table by serving up a colorful meal.
Spinach Pancakes
I never thought that my older daughter would be such a fan of green pancakes, but just when you think you know your kiddo, they go and surprise you! It turns out that she’ll eat pretty much anything in pancake form. This (and Spinach Pesto and my Spinach Muffins) are by far her preferred ways to get her greens.
I love how these are both easy to make and they’re so easy for the kids to enjoy.
The beauty of this kids pancake recipe is that it comes together in the blender so you don’t have to dirty a sink full of dishes to make it happen.
And it includes two bananas and small pile of spinach, so everyone will get a nice amount of vitamins and minerals to start the day.
TIP: The flavor is sweet, so despite the color, they taste like healthy banana pancakes.
Ingredients You Need
To make this simple pancake recipe you’ll need:
- Very ripe bananas: Those with brown spots will have the best flavor
- Eggs
- Buckwheat flour or whole wheat flour
- Milk: Dairy or nondairy
- Baby spinach: You can use fresh spinach or spinach that you’ve frozen
- Ground flaxseed
- Baking powder
- Cinnamon
- Vanilla extract,
- Oil or butter for cooking
Ingredient Substitutions
Both whole wheat and buckwheat flour work well in this recipe, though the pancakes cook through more easily with buckwheat. Look for it in the natural flours section of your supermarket. It’s widely available and very nutritious. For tips on using whole wheat flour, see the Notes section at the bottom of the recipe as you’ll want to reduce the milk amount slightly.
Use an egg replacer like the one from Bob’s Red Mill to make these egg-free.
Use buckwheat flour to make these gluten-free.
Use nondairy milk to make these without dairy.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Here’s a look at how to make these healthy pancakes. Scroll down to the bottom of this post for the full information.
- Add all ingredients to a blender except the flour.
- Blend, starting on low and working up to high. You want the spinach to be very well incorporated.
- Stir or pulse in the flour. Avoid over-blending but do make sure to get all of the flour blended in.
- Cook as you would any other pancakes and serve warm.
TIP: I like to cook these in a nonstick skillet or griddle since they are easiest to flip. Cast iron also works if well greased.
Gluten-Free Spinach Pancakes
Yes! Buckwheat flour is naturally gluten-free and it works well in this recipe.
Dairy-Free Spinach Pancakes
To make these dairy-free, simply use nondairy plain unsweetened milk instead of dairy milk and cook with neutral oil.
Easy Baby Pancakes
Due to the very soft texture of these pancakes, they tend to be much easier for babies to eat than traditional ones. And since they are packed with nutrients, this is a favorite pancake recipe to make for baby led weaning and once a baby is starting to eat finger foods.
TIP: Find my favorite early finger foods for babies here.
Serving Suggestions
Maple syrup and butter of course, or nut butter, yogurt, applesauce, chopped fruit, or jam are all good options. When my middle kiddo was a baby, she ate them plain!
TIP: We like to have ours with a fruit salad rainbow (without the pot of gold at the end, unfortunately!) for St. Patrick’s Day, but that part is of course optional.
How to Store
These store really well if you let any leftovers cool and store in an airtight container or zip top freezer bags. You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days or in a freezer safe container or bag for up to 3 months. Warm in 15 second increments in the microwave to serve.
Tips for Making the Best Spinach Pancakes
- You can store a bag of baby spinach in the freezer to use in smoothies and pancakes. Freezing it maintains the nutrients but it knocks out any “green” flavor which is handy! It’s also nice that you don’t have to worry about it going bad before you can use it up.
- Be sure to blend the batter very smooth to get the greens very well processed.
- You can sub in whole wheat flour for the buckwheat, but you’ll want to reduce the milk by ¼ cup.
- If the bottoms start to brown too much before they are set, lower the heat to medium-low.
- Look for buckwheat in the natural flours section of your supermarket. It’s widely available and very nutritious.
- If making for a baby who’s not yet consuming cow’s milk, you can use unsweetened nondairy milk.
- I prefer to use a nonstick skillet or griddle for this recipe, though cast iron works too.
- You may also like Spinach Banana Muffins, 2-Ingredient Pancakes, Banana Oatmeal Pancakes, and Yogurt Pancakes.

Servings 4
- ▢ 2 small very ripe bananas (about 1 cup tightly packed sliced banans)
- ▢ 2 large eggs
- ▢ 1 cup buckwheat flour or whole wheat (See Notes at the bottom if using whole wheat)
- ▢ 1 cup milk
- ▢ 2 cups lightly packed baby spinach
- ▢ 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- ▢ 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- ▢ 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ▢ Coconut oil for cooking (or canola oil or butter)
Add all ingredients to a blender except the flour.
Blend on high until very well combined, about 20-30 seconds, or until you no longer see any noticeable flecks of spinach.
Stir or pulse in the flour and thoroughly combine without over-mixing.
Warm a nonstick or cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat and coat with oil or butter. Pour small rounds of batter onto the hot surface—the batter should spread fairly thinly on its own—and let cook until bubbles form on the surface and the surface is mostly set, about 3-4 minutes.
Flip and cook for an additional 3 minutes, or until fully cooked.
Continue to prepare the rest of the batter, keeping the finished pancakes warm in a 275 degree oven if desired.
Serve warm with fruit, maple syrup, or another favorite dip.

How to choose the right table for a student?
A student's desk should not only fit well into the interior of a child's room, it should also set you up for learning and, of course, take care of your child's health.
The right desk is the key to your child's health. Perhaps the purchase of a desk for a student, especially when it comes to a specialized desk, is an expensive investment, but once you buy a good desk, you can be sure that it will serve you for a long time, especially since now there are specialized school desks, height-adjustable, which can be used by both children and adults.
Choosing a desk for a student should be done very carefully, paying attention to such criteria as: safety, comfort and environmental friendliness of the materials from which it is made.
Schoolchildren workplace organization
Before you start choosing a table, consider what functions it should perform, whether you need a place for a computer or laptop where notebooks, school supplies, textbooks, notebooks and other school supplies will be stored. Record all the criteria that are important to you.
If your apartment or student's room is small and there is not much space for a work surface - estimate the maximum size of the desk.
Doctors recommend that a desk be over 1 meter wide and over 60 centimeters deep. The space under the countertop should be at least 50x50 centimeters.
How to choose a table
When choosing a table, you should pay attention to the fact that the child should sit at the desk on the right chair, while the elbows should be freely placed on the tabletop, located at the level of the solar plexus, the back should touch the back of the chair. When the child's arms are lowered, the elbow should be 5-6 cm below the table top.
The tabletop must be at least 60 x 60 cm, otherwise the child will not be able to place all the school supplies needed to complete the task on it.
Nowadays, there are many types of desks available on the market for people with different incomes. Knowing the necessary requirements for a desk, as well as having an idea about the features of choosing a desk, choosing a desk is not difficult.
Types of desks: height-adjustable desks The modern market offers a variety of desks: classic rectangular, corner, rounded, etc. One of the latest innovations is transforming tables or, to put it more simply, tables that can fully adapt to the child by adjusting the level of the tabletop tilt, as well as the required height. It is also scientifically proven that during the work at the table, a person simply needs to change position, work standing-sitting, which these tables also allow to do.
Ergonomic desks can be placed in almost any corner, because they can be rotated in any direction.
One of the representatives of transforming tables is the children's table Ergostol Excellent, the maximum height of which is 76 centimeters. Among the tables for schoolchildren, everyone can find a table for themselves, because. the price range of these tables is very diverse, for example:
Budget children's tables
The budget children's table Ergostol Excellent is cheaper than other desks. At the same time, you do not lose quality, only the design is classic and there are fewer options as standard. However, the basics of ergonomics are observed: the tables have an extended package, including an additional stationary shelf, convenient for storing books and stationery.
Children's tables of the middle price category Desks for children are a fundamentally new development of Ergostoll. The essence of the new system lies in the fact that the frame has height-adjustable columns and a universal mechanism - this is the tilt angle of the table top.
For an additional fee, it can be transformed: add a drawer under the entire countertop and a wall cabinet. The drawer and pedestal can be used separately or together, the pedestal can be attached either to the right or to the left. Thus, you will be able to assemble exactly the equipment that your child needs. Before buying, you should choose a color, there is white, chestnut, oak, beech, lakeland acacia and many others.
Fashion children's tables New desks for children from Ergostol are not only ergonomic, but also the most “fashionable” of the entire range of children's desks. It is no coincidence that the color of the table is white, and its top and side elements have a trendy rounded shape that is safe for children.
Like other table models, Ergostol is a table that "grows up" with the child. For example, the height of the Ergostol Excellent table changes in the range from 52 to 76 cm, which allows you to adjust the level of the table exactly to the current height of your child. The height adjustment of this table is made using the growth system, which means that the height of the table can be adjusted by the child himself. It's convenient and safe.
However, Ergostol tables are not only intended for use by schoolchildren, as their height is limited. If you yourself plan to use such a table for a long time and the desk should be universal, the Ergostol Terra table can serve as an alternative solution.
Ergostol Terra
Terra is a table that will grow with your child and can be useful to him, both in childhood and in adulthood.
The minimum height of the table is 61 centimeters, which means that it is suitable for children from 145 cm tall (children about 10-11 years old, students in grades 4-5), and the maximum height reaches 127 centimeters. Thus, from an early age, you can allow your child to work standing-sitting in order to avoid many problems associated with incorrect posture and constant sitting at the table in the future.
Tables from this series can be made in a wide range of colors (more than a dozen colors). Also, the children's table can be equipped with additional options, which will make the workplace as comfortable as possible.
The right choice of table for a schoolchild will allow you to save your child's health. It is very important to take the choice of a table seriously, and when your child grows up, he will definitely say “thank you” to you!
How to choose a table for a first grader - expert opinion
May 19, 2021
Before the start of the school year, parents must take care of creating the necessary conditions for doing homework. Regardless of the age of the student, it is strictly forbidden to seat him at an adult table and chair. Such furniture is absolutely not suitable for children and does not take into account the parameters of the child.
Physician requirements for a student's desk
Our experts have prepared valuable information to help parents make the right choice.
Isolate the student's workplace
Which table to choose for a first grader? A computer desk is not the best option for doing homework, no matter what grade the child is in. Of course, the guys do a certain part of the work using a PC. But a table for a personal computer is not adapted for working on lessons for many reasons.
Firstly, it is more compact and does not allow you to place all the necessary items. Secondly, open tabs constantly distract the child from the lessons. Thirdly, the included monitor irritates the nervous system and negatively affects the organs of vision.
For hobbies, drawing, modeling, reading and writing assignments, a student needs a “correct” desk and a comfortable chair.
Where to place the student's desk and chair?
Not in a dark corner or in a common room. Ideally, the student should have a separate room with a properly equipped workplace and well-placed lighting. This place should be bright, well ventilated and comfortable in every way. An important criterion is the ability to perform lessons in natural light.
How to choose a desk for a first grader

Desk height for a first grader. Choosing a table based on the age of the student
Specialists pay attention to the correct ratio of the height of school furniture. The parameters do not have a constant value and depend on the individual characteristics of the child. The age orientation is not entirely correct, since children of the same age have different builds/heights. That is why when buying furniture in a store, you should not be guided by the recommendation, for example, for 8-10 or 12 years old.
Product requirements for (height):
Child height 1 m 20 cm
Table height 52 cm, chair height 32 cm.
Height from 1 m 22 cm to 1 m 30 cm
Table height increased by five cm, chair height increased by three cm. As you can see, based on the requirements, the furniture will have to be changed very often! With a child growing +10 cm to the above parameters, the height of the table should be increased by five cm, and the chair by three cm. At first glance, such calculations seem simple, but in practice they cause many problems. By buying a ready-made “growing chair”, parents can avoid both constant calculations and spending money on a new model.
Important! On the net, you can read recommendations to go shopping with your child. Let the student choose the best model for which he will be comfortable. Our experts strongly disagree with this statement. Children are not able to determine what they need and choose a chair according to their own considerations (for example, to rotate, swing, have bright colors, soft back and seat, etc.)
The correct table for a schoolchild has the following indicators:
- Legs bent at a right angle, do not hang down.
- Feet fully on the floor.
- The distance between the knees and the tabletop is approximately 15 cm.
- The table is at the level of the solar plexus of the seated person.
- When the elbow is on the table, the tip of the middle finger reaches the outer corners of the eye (the head is straight).
- In the standing position near the table, the elbows are two to five cm below the tabletop.
It is clear that the child is not aware of all these requirements. Before buying, parents themselves are obliged to study all the information they have and explain to the child the logic of choosing the best chair and table for classes.
Varieties of desks
There are not so many of them:
1. Classical model with a rectangular top
Pros:
- large selection;
- reasonable prices;
- storage cabinet and drawers.
Cons:
- no set of settings;
- in most cases - materials of dubious quality.
2. Corner desk
Pros:
- comfortable shape;
- space saving;
- beautiful design.
Cons:
- there is no height adjustment set.
3. Desk
Pros:
- bright colors and modern design;
- sloping top available on some models;
- functionality.
Cons:
- does not always fit into the interior, it resembles school furniture;
- no setting.
4. Transformers
Pros:
- convenient thoughtful design;
- Guaranteed correct seating at the table thanks to a set of settings;
- strength and stability;
- quality materials and hypoallergenic coatings;
- save money due to long service life.
Cons:
- higher price compared to other models.
More and more parents are choosing school furniture with a set of settings.
Worktop width and color. Dimensions of tables for schoolchildren
The recommended width of the table top is one meter, the depth is 60 cm.
Furniture color
It is better to choose natural, not flashy shades - natural wood, as well as light green, light gray, peach, beige. Too bright colors, according to psychologists, have a negative effect on the ability to memorize material and concentrate.
School chair
We remind you: adult chairs, stools and computer chairs are not suitable for children!
When buying, you should first of all focus on the possibility of adjusting the parameters.
At the same time, seat height is not all the criteria for a "correct" model.
Requirements for children's chairs:
- Seat depth of 2/3 thigh length is the best option. In this case, the child touches the back of the back, and his knees are not pressed against the edge of the seat.
- The back of the chair is at a 90 degree angle. Its height allows you to freely lean, not fall apart while sitting at the table and not lean back.
- Strong and stable, no wobble. Office swivel chairs are completely banned.
- Sufficiently rigid seat that does not collapse or bounce.
- Has a footrest at a certain height (depending on the height/age of the child). Its width is not less than the length of the foot. Feet should not hang or stand on tiptoe.
The most reasonable solution is to buy a quality "growing" model. A "smart" chair for a child has been serving for many years, has a set of settings that can be changed at home in a few minutes, without resorting to the services of masters. This saves parents the hassle of finding the right child seat every year or more often.
Workplace for two students
If possible, it is better to provide two full-time jobs for each student. If you have limited space, the best option would be an elongated common table and two chairs.
What material to choose for the school table
Various materials are used in the manufacture of furniture (MDF, wood, plastic, chipboard). The main condition is the presence of a certificate confirming safety. Require documents in the store from consultants.
Selection of a comfortable chair and additional accessories for the table
A correct and comfortable chair is a necessary condition for the formation of a healthy posture. Therefore, in addition to a comfortable table for school, the child will need a high-quality chair.
Only serious manufacturers who care about their reputation offer certified products, where all requirements are taken into account:
- safety of coatings and materials;
- the ability to independently make adjustments (height and depth of the footrest, seat and backrest height).
The presence of adjustments to ensure the correct fit at the table is a must.
What accessories do you need?
- Lamp with diffused soft but directional light.
