Introducing new foods can be challenging, but there are several fun methods to make it easier:
- Food Art: Create fun shapes and designs with food. Use cookie cutters to make sandwiches into fun shapes or arrange fruits and vegetables into a colorful rainbow. - Taste Tests: Organize a taste test with different varieties of a food (e.g., different types of apples). Make it a game to see which one they like best. - Storytelling: Incorporate storytelling about the food's origin or nutritional benefits. For example, tell a story about how carrots help you see in the dark, like a superhero. - Cooking Together: Let children help in the kitchen. They are more likely to try something they helped make.
