The new line will provide young children with great tasting snacks while enhancing fine motor skills, building shape recognition and aiding in speech development and socialization. Along with their just-right size, the round shape of these cookies is particularly appealing to young children who are interested in feeding themselves and presenting the cookies to others.

Lucy’s^® ingredients offer a better-for-you option when compared with typical toddler snacks (http://www.drlucys.com/cookies/lookiecookie) with its richly nutritious bean and grain flours, high-quality healthy oils and many organic ingredients.

From about ten to twenty-four months, Lookie Cookies (http://www.drlucys.com/cookies/lookiecookie) can be a part of the following important abilities children learn during this time:

•      Point or gesture at an object the toddler wants
