Try New Foods!

Are you caring for children who are fussy eaters or are reluctant to try new things? Make a tasting passport. Take several pieces of computer paper and fold in half and staple. On the front write “Tasting Passport,” the child’s name and the date you started. Look for food pictures in magazines (old magazines are often recycled at libraries or at the town dump) that the child can glue into the passport when he or she tries a new food. Or you can write the name of the food or look for food stickers where stationery or crafts are sold. Stamping each page with a rubber stamp will make it even more official.
