On a cookie sheet, make “mud” with chocolate pudding and Oreo baking crumbs. Use pieces of broccoli for trees and chunks of fruit for rocks and plants. Use toy dinosaurs to stomp through the scene. Or, try making a funny dinosaur picture using foods.
Use a cookie sheet or the lid of a storage container, make a Paw Patrol obstacle course. Use slices of fruits and veggies to create slides, mini-trampolines, and climbing obstacles. Use Paw Patrol figurines to navigate the course and race to the finish line.
Create a farm scene on the lid of storage container or a cookie sheet. Use chocolate pudding for mud, shredded veggies for grass, and broccoli and cauliflower for trees. Use corn and peas for animal food. Encourage your child to help feed the animals on the farm.
If you have a train set, use the train cars to transport food around (e.g., fruits, nuts, berries, pasta). Pretend it’s a mission to make a special delivery. If your child likes diggers and dump trucks, use these vehicles to scoop and dump foods. If you're feeling extra creative and inspired, try making a train from fruits and vegetables!
Count foods! Line up pieces of meat, fruits, or veggies. Have your child count the foods and announce the total. Sort foods! Put all the orange foods together (e.g., carrots, orange pepper, Ritz crackers) and all of the round foods together (e.g., cheerios, grapes, cucumbers).
Paint with colourful pudding, yogurt, or purees. Use a paintbrush or fingers. Add crumbs or seeds for “sparkles”. Use food to make funny faces on plates or an underwater or outer space scene.
Set-up a picnic. The dolls and bears can sit in a circle and your child can be in charge of giving each one a plate, cup, spoon, and napkin. Next your child has the job of serving food to each friend at the picnic. Try to include other kids and have fun!
Sing any songs about food! (Wiggles “Fruit Salad yummy…yummy!”).There are many wonderful books about food including pictures and stories about learning about new foods. Look for books where you can scratch and smell the foods.
Your child can help wash fruits and veggies in the kitchen sink. Kids can help cut soft foods using a child-safe knife. Kids can have the job of bringing foods to the table and serving foods to others during family meals.
Encourage your child to close their eyes and touch a food inside a paper bag or container and guess what it is based on how it feels. If they are eventually ready to take a bite, then they can guess if it will “crunch” or “squish” in their mouth.
