Fun with Food

This is a fun way to introduce different types of foods and textures to encourage children to eat more nutritious foods. The most important fun factor is that the child is involved in the preparing process. Implementation of positive eating behavior such as; Encourage kids to say “No, thank you,” allowing him/her to see, smell, and touch a food many times before trying it, etc. are strongly encouraged. Fun with food gives the child a sense of control and assists in developing curiosity about food and being more willing to approach food items on their own.
