It can be hard to get kids to try new food, or sometimes to eat at all! And one way we have gotten around that problem at our house… is to making eating fun.
Traditionally parents tell their kids NOT to play with their food. But new research shows that “playing with food” can be a good thing, as long as it’s part of getting kids to eat right.
(This is a snack bowl that used marshmallows and cranberries in a fun winter scene! The painted faces are food coloring!)
Making snacking fun is easy- but you can do it with lunch and dinner as well!
And since dinner can be the toughest meal of the day for picky eaters, what about letting kids make a “scene” on their plates?
