Having fun with food
Serve food you have prepared in colourful and fun-shaped bowls and plates, with
cartoon characters that your child is familiar with..
It's a known fact that most toddlers get rather finicky about food at one stage
of their growth or another, making feeding times most unpleasant and challenging
for parents and children.
To increase your child's interest in food, here are some suggestions you can try:
• Use biscuit cutters to make different shapes and use food to create faces. For
example, use bread for the face, raisins for eyes, a strip of red pepper for the
mouth, a broccoli floret for the nose and slices of cheese for the hair.
• When making jelly desserts, use animal or character-shaped jelly moulds and add
colourful pieces of fruits to increase appeal, taste, texture and nutrition.
• Serve food you have prepared in colourful and fun-shaped bowls and plates, with
cartoon characters that your child is familiar with.
