Making Food Fun


Getting children interested in cooking is one way to expand their food tastes. Make sure to include your children in cooking. The following are creative ideas to get your child involved in the kitchen:

  • Use a cookie cutter to cut foods into fun shapes.
  • Work with children to invent new combinations for snacks and let them help you create them.
  • Give children credit for foods that they create. For example, name the food after your child (“Brianna’s pasta” or “Joseph’s salad”).
