Children will have fun playing this tasting game. Provide some snacks that may be new to your child. Some suggestions include: kiwi, mango, pineapple, sugar cane, coconut, plantain, or starfruit, just to name a few. Encourage children to explore each food using their senses.
Show your child the fruit before you cut it. Ask him to use his eyes to describe what he sees. Smell the fruit. Now cut it open. Watch how the fruit changes when you reveal the different color inside the fruit. Talk with your child about how the fruit is similar and different from the way it looked before. Now, children will have fun tasting the fruit.
How does it taste? Sour, sweet, bitter? What fruit do they like best? This activity can also be done with different types of meat or cheese. Be creative and enjoy discovering new foods with your child.
