- Offer smaller portions. Kids are overwhelmed by adult sized portions.
- Cut food into small pieces. It is easier to try a small bite.
- Cut food into simple shapes. Simple triangles, circles and rectangles are fun.
- Try linking healthy snacks to your child’s books. Making a hungry caterpillar for lunch after reading Eric Carle’s book get kids in the mood to try something new.
- Have your child become the chef. Helping in kitchen encourages children to try new foods and learn skills that last a life time.
