Ode to the Little Snack Cup

We've been reading a lot of Dr. Seuss around here lately (being iced inside our house and all). Inspired by reading The Cat in the Hat over and over and over again, I decided to come up with an ode to the most wonderful of toddler contraptions--the snack cup. If there's one product out there that helps us have more successul and fun outings with a toddler, it's this (full of tasty treats, of course). It is especially true when he has to be in his car seat or stroller for long periods of time.

ODE TO THE LITTLE SNACK CUP

 

You have a way about you, little snack cup

Making Cheerios more challenging to spill

Yet keeps them accessible still

To little toddler hands

Letting us explore various lands

Little snack cup, we give you a big thumbs up

Packed with raisins or many a cracker

You make life grand for our little snacker

Keeping him happier in the car

Or sitting in his stroller as we wander afar

The world, we want our son to gobble up

Instead of being strapped to a high chair

Eating on the go can be done with flair

We take you everywhere we go

Leaving a trail behind us of many a Cheerio

You make it all possible, little snack cup!

(Confession: Cheerios are a major food group in the arrow's diet these days. Please don't judge.)
