Getting Toddlers to Try New FoodsI often have my grandson at my house. Being a toddler, he is a picky eater. I came up with this idea when we were reading a book called "Eating a Rainbow".
Use Small Portions On A Large Plate For Picky EatersIf your child is a poor eater, put their child size portion on a big dinner plate. That way it looks like you're only asking them to eat a little bit.
Pizza Cutter to Cut SpaghettiWhen my son was very young, spaghetti was difficult for him to eat. I would use my pizza cutter to cut his spaghetti into bite size pieces, which he could then eat with a spoon. I could do this after it was placed into his bowl, which made it even quicker for me!
Getting a Toddler to Eat VeggiesBecause I am always anxious about getting veggies in my toddler, I devised a new way to get them in his mouth! I bought several popsicle trays at my local dollar store. I pureed fruit, yogurt, and veggies together and poured them in the trays.
Use Plastic Easter Eggs For SnacksWe have all kinds of the plastic easter eggs leftover from Easter. I use them for snack containers. I put cereal, goldfish crackers, small marshmallows, etc.
Help Kids Clear Their PlateI bought a clear glass dinner plate from the $1 store. I set the plate on top of my granddaughter's Strawberry Shortcake placemat. When she eats her food, Strawberry starts to show through.
