Fruit is a complete snack
Banana, soft apple, or ripe pear can be the whole snack. Wash it, offer a size that matches how well they chew, and sit with them.
Fruit can be the entire snack
Whole grapes and hard raw apple are easy to choke on. Softer pieces are the everyday choice for this age.
A ripe banana or a cooked apple is a full snack. It does not need a second food to count.
Chewing still matters
Sit with them. Hard, round fruit is the shape to rethink for toddlers. If you are unsure a fruit is right for how they chew, leave it off and ask your child’s doctor.
The app can say how to serve a fruit for the age you saved. This page will not give the cutting steps.
Ripe beats impressive
A green banana or a rock-hard apple will not be the easy win. Buy fruit you can serve in the next day or two.
If they only lick it, the snack can end. Offer it again another day, still soft.
