One of the things I love about children is that everything is new and exciting.
On a daily basis they are constantly learning new mental and physical skills.
The thing is all this ‘new‘ requires energy to process … a lot of energy. And from the moment my girls wake up to the moment they go to bed food plays an important part of their day.
Luckily they enjoy food. They enjoy the taste, texture and social element of it, whether it’s at school, at home or eating out.
They have no idea how much effort goes into keeping that interest!
So, that brings me onto a new Walkers snack … Hoops and Crosses. It sounds like the perfect travel/boredom snack for my three. They can eat and play at the same time but is it really as brilliant as it sounds?
Well to start with they had great fun using the snack to play ‘Noughts & Crosses’. They are a nice size to handle and don’t leave too much snack trail behind them.
On the down side there were a lot more crosses than hoops so we could only have one game going at a time. A shame as there would have been enough in the pack for to games to be played at the same time if there was an even distribution of shapes!
The taste test gave mixed results.
RoRo and RaRa were very impressed and scoffed pretty much all of the packet.
Eldest on the other hand was not impressed and proceeded to lecture me about poor parenting. Why would I give her the most disgusting thing ever to put in her mouth. She would never trust me again. As a parent I have failed!
To be fair the beef flavour we were sent was very, very strong and a little salty (most crispy things are).
oh your poor eldest! my daughter isn’t a fan of strong flavours either she did however quite like the beef hoops and crosses, I have since purchased the pawn cocktail variety too which my eldest loves, but again it is quite a strong flavour and my daughter wasn’t kean on them.
