Toddler Recipes for Your Toddler! Healthy, nutritious, wholesome and easy ways to prepare Toddler recipes, meals and foods for your Toddler are found within this site. This website is devoted to feeding Toddlers.

Wholesometoddlerfood.com has been created in response to the many requests from our wholesomebabyfood.com visitors to "please branch out into more Toddler food information". We hope you enjoy our new site and that it is as informative and useful as our wholesomebabyfood.com website!

What does "It starts with a Rainbow" mean?

We like to think that healthy eating is as simple as feeding your Toddler a Rainbow every day! Think of the colours of the rainbow and then think of the vegetables and fruits that match those colours! Granted, it will be very hard to feed your Toddler "blues" and "purples" every day however, the general idea of following the rainbow should be helpful.

bulletRed - Apples, Cherries, Strawberries, Watermelon, Red Potatoes, Tomatoes

bulletOrange - Oranges, Peaches, Sweet Potatoes, Carrots

bulletYellow - Bananas, Summer Squash, Wax Beans, Pears

bulletGreen - Avocado, Green Beans, Zucchini, Mango, Papaya

bulletBlue - Blueberries

bulletPurple - Grapes, Eggplant

What is a Toddler?
We think it is important to define what a Toddler is and what ages are reflected in this website: 
The American Heritage Dictionary defines a Toddler as:

  • One who toddles, especially a young child learning to walk.
  • A size of clothing for children between the ages of about one and three years.

We like to define a toddler as:

  • A child who is between the age of 12 months and 48 months old (1 year and 4 years old)
  • One who loves to eat <xyz> food one day and then dislikes that very same <xyz> food the next day
  • One who requires a lot of clean laundry, tidying-up after, and lots of attention, and constant amusement and stimulation
  • One who is methodical and focused in his or her attempts at launching a spoonful of mashed potatoes as easily as a robotic arm assembles a car!
  • One who's innocence and wonder inspires us to do better
  • One who possesses an abundance of love.
  • One who is unconditional in the giving, and delightful in the receiving of that love, along with showering hugs, kisses and smiles to those around him or her;
  • a true joy and a true blessing to treasure
