This is a wonderful snack to give to toddlers. Use their favorite juice just be sure it’s a 100% natural. (http://www.easysnacks.net/)

P.S. Got a Neti pot... love it... but this infection is big & bad. Now I have a horrible bronchial cough on top of not being able to breathe or talk. At least the headaches are gone. Please pray for my sustenance.

** Edit: I made the gelatin snacks using grape juice, and a banana that wasn't as ripe as it could have been. My assessment is that it tastes like those fruit leather packets you can get in the health-food section. Not bad, definitely fruity, and semi-sweet. It would indeed be a PERFECT snack for a toddler, especially if you'd not let yours get a massive white-sugar-addicted sweet tooth yet. I'm going to try it with a different juice, too, and see if that makes it any different.
