A practice in spreading and a snack all in one! Give your child a small jar or bowl of some kind of spread (ie: jelly, hummus, peanut butter...), a couple crackers, and a small children's knife. Help them to practice spreading the jelly (or whatever spread you choose) onto the cracker and presto! Snack is ready! After helping them at first, step back and let them give it a go on their own. They will love the independence and sense of accomplishment. And the edible reward in the end is a plus too!
*I recommend only giving them as much jelly (or other spread) as you want them to eat. Otherwise they might use way more than you intended and it could turn into a "look how much jelly I can eat!" work, rather than a practice in spreading.
