   Place the whole banana along one edge of the tortilla.

5.

👶How to serve by age

🔄Allergy & diet swaps

Nut-free

Use sunflower seed butter. It's also the best choice for nut-free daycares and schools.

Gluten-free

Use a soft gluten-free tortilla, warmed so it rolls without cracking.

No tortilla

Roll a slice of soft bread flat with a rolling pin, trim the crusts and use it as the wrap.

💡Tips

• Never serve nut butter by the spoonful to toddlers — always spread it thinly.
• Swap the tortilla for a flattened slice of bread with crusts removed.
• Dip the ends in mashed raspberries for a 'sushi roe' look.

🧊Storage & safety

Storage: Best eaten fresh. Keeps 1 day in the fridge, wrapped tightly.

Suggested age: 12 months+. Every child is different — serve textures and sizes that match your toddler's chewing skills.
