Nickelodeon Squeezers: Partly we're saying "yay!" Partly we're saying "oy."
Today, my daughter's best friend Dora the Explorer gave her a delicious, healthy snack. Yup. I played that card. And I am not nearly ashamed as I probably should be, considering the snack was 100% apple sauce with no added sugar.
Nickelodeon Squeezers from Nature's Child was our first time venturing into the exciting world of squeezable food at all. My one-year-old handled it beautifully and my three-year-old smiled wickedly at me, thinking she was eating something bad for her and getting away with it. They've got two flavors available: Dora hawking apple puree, and SpongeBob shilling for berry puree. There's no spoon or refrigeration needed, making them perfect for on-the-go.

Since all the research proves that children are more apt to eat stuff with licensed cartoon characters on it, I figure you may as well take advantage of it as a chance to feed your kid something healthy. -Elizabeth

[Ed Note: My 5 year-old daughter saw this post before it published and said "I want that!" "But you don't like applesauce," I said. "I'll try it again," was her response. So there ya go." - Liz]
