But when you open a book with pictures of food in front of them, there’s a willingness to stay put (because they not there’s no eating required). And in response children push that plate away fast. When new foods are sitting on the table, our kids quickly assume – “O h no! They expect me to try this food but I don’t want to!”. Why?īecause it’s an opportunity to learn about food without the food being on their plate. Opening up and reading children’s books about food with our kids can be really powerful. Hence why the Curious Cookie Food Adventure Mat has been flying off shelves for the past few years! It’s also why parents stay in the Raising Adventurous Eaters CLUB for months and months, because that’s where they are learning how to present foods in a playful way.īut if you don’t have the placemat and aren’t in the CLUB, there’s another way we can build curiosity around food. Kids learn to like foods through play and exploration. This question has come up in a few of my Facebook groups so I’m guessing you might be wondering the same thing. What are the best children’s books about food parents should have at home?
