I gave kiddo some freeze dried pears tonight - a HUGE hit! They kind of melt like puffs once he gets them in his mouth (or at least they get really mushy. And they tend to be a bunch of different sizes so he can practice picking up and biting off different shapes. We got a big box of little packets of pear and apple and costco. I can see these being a perfect diaper bag snack down the road because they really weren't messy.
Just wanted to share ;-)
