![]() The nutritional variety they need might happen over several days, not within one day. Think of your child’s diet over the course of a few days-every day doesn’t have to have the perfect balance.Here are more ideas to consider as you help kids build healthy food habits and make sure they get the nourishment they need: When it comes to feeding kids, you control the “what” and “when,” and your child controls whether to eat, and how much. Add food coloring for more effect, and test your children on their sense of touch! Blind fold to have them predict their item first.When babies turn into toddlers, their growth slows, and so does their appetite! Combine that with the fact that they’re developing their own preferences, and mealtime can become a bit frustrating. Fill up your bin with snow, cooked pasta or water with dish soap bubbles and start exploring! Pre-plan a table cloth around your floor space or easy clean-up counter. SENSORY BIN: Grab a large pasta pot, fill up the bathtub or even a simple Tupperware bin and hide some easy clean up toys, puzzle pieces (and then complete the puzzle) or a surprise item in the bottom.If you must resort to some screen time, check out COSMIC KIDS YOGA on YouTube! FREE yoga lessons! Just a good book with character full of expressions and adventures! Read a page, and then have your children strike a pose on a characters feeling, setting or action. YOGA: You don’t have to be a yogi expert to practice balancing and breathing.Grab some pillows, painters’ tape (to tape from one side of a wall to another creating a web), chairs to hurdle, wash-cloths as hopping spots…and away you go! Race if you feel safe, or hold “trials” and have you little gymnast think of an addition or how to re-route the course for the next run. OBSTACLE COURSE: This is best if you house has a natural circle path or a long hallway.This is also a great way to practice kitchen safety and talk about HOT versus COLD concepts. What color will it turn? Will it be hard or soft when cooked? What happens if we add a little of _? Pull up a step stool and have them turn into your mixer. ![]()
