Guacamole and hummus...silly question

Ok guys, I know this is probably a stupid question but I'm going to ask it anyway. How do you feed your 1 year olds (my DD just turned 13 months so she's on the younger side) guacamole or hummus?  Do you spoon feed it or put it on something for them? I know she wouldn't get the concept of dipping yet.  These are two things I'd like to give her but haven't really bothered with now that she's mainly eating things she can pick up herself.  She had guacamole briefly back when we did purees but it's been awhile.  She eats great and will eat almost anything, but I'm late to the game on these I guess!

    Use it as a spread on bread or cracker. Use it in a pita sammich or regular sammich/burrito. Pre dip veggies (think ant on a log).

    I bet if you showed her how to dip she would get it. My DD dips all the time and thinks it's the coolest thing. She's also 13m. Other wise what Nana said works too.

    We put both on either crackers or tortillas.  I agree with minervacullen though - start showing her how to dip stuff and she'll pick it up quickly.  I think your DD is about 4 weeks younger than mine, and mine started to dip her ravioli in her yogurt at lunch last week (I'm guessing because she saw us dipping stuff earlier).

    This is a great question! I've wondered the same thing. I usually put the guac on her tray and she puts her fingers in it and it's a big mess. Thanks for the suggestions!

    DS loves to dip and actually refuses crackers without dip now. Try with crackers or pita chips, or rolled up in tortillas. DS will also just eat a bowl of hummus with a spoon. Do whatever works for you!

    Thanks for the suggestions!  I pictured a bowl of dip flying onto the floor if I tried to teach her that, but duh, I'll just plop it on her tray and show her :)  I picked up some crackers today, too.

    My DD has had guac and hummus since she was about 7  months old.  She loves it.  When she was little I would just dip a piece of flatbread or whole wheat wrap in it for her.  Now that she's almost 2 she loves to dip it herself.
