• Make a name for the food in a way that is can create curiosity in the child’s mind.
• Choose a colorful healthy food, which is visually captivating for children.
• Give a variety of shapes depending on your concept that you want to present.
• It must also have a variety of textures to add more interest for the children.

Doing some modification with the food presentation that your children can relate to, you can let them make it on their own.

The more involved a child is in creating their beautiful meal the greater their tendency to eat them.
