Notes

Caution: Do not allow a young kid to handle a sharp knife. Use only plastic knives designed for kids. Otherwise, adults have to pit the dates and allow the kid to do the stuffing.

Seeds: Make sure to chop the seeds if you are planning to serve these stuffed dates to toddlers.

Stuffing: Avoid overstuffing the dates, as it can make it harder for young kids to eat without making a mess.
