Yes: These are good sources of iron. Other suggestions are: Lean red meat,chicken thighs or legs, Oily fish (tuna, sardines, mackerel, trout or salmon). Include oily fish in your toddler's meals once or twice a week.Also, dark green veggies, baked beans, lentils, dried fruits and iron fortified breakfast cereals. :)

Iron rich foods: Foods such a leafy green vegetables (kale), lean red meats, beans, shellfish, nuts and fortified cereals are high in iron. The iron will be absorbed more readily if eaten with foods that contain Vitamin C such as bell peppers, parsley, broccolli, orange juice, kiwi, cooked tomatoes and strawberries.
