    Preschool children belong to the age group of 1-6 years. The growth is generally slower during these years than first year of life but continues gradually. Because growth is slower, the appetite decreases, which often concerns the parents. Children have decreased interest in food and increased interest in world around them. They develop food jags during this time, refusing previously accepted food or asking for the same food each meal (Krause‟s, 2000). They are picky eaters (Srilaksmi, 2014). Because of their smaller stomach capacity and variable appetites, the preschool children eat best with small servings of foods offered several times a day. Most of the children eat four to six times a day making snacks as important meals in contributing to the total daily nutrient intake (Krause‟s, 2000). Snacks should be chosen wisely so that they are dense in nutrients to fulfil their daily requirements. Preschool children constitute one of the most nutritionally vulnerable segments of the population. Being vulnerable they succumb readily to infection where diet is poor in quantity and quality. The rate of growth and development depend to a large measure on the adequacy of the diet consumed by them (Swaminathan, 2012). Nutrition during these years has an impact not only on growth and morbidity during childhood, but also affects their nutritional status in adolescent and adult life.
