We are huge advocates for sitting down and eating with your children and teaching your children one of the most important life skills, cooking. Cooking at home is healthier and less expensive!You can use the fact that all of the food is together in one compartment to your advantage! I never actually used divided plates with my kids, and I never regretted it! They’ve never shown much of an issue with having their foods mixed up at all. In fact, I taught them to mix things up! I encouraged them to try out different combinations of foods to test them and see what they tasted like. And doing this really helped them to avoid having an aversion to mixed foods, so this really worked well for us. It also introduces babies to a variety of textures early on, so that they don’t become reliant on only eating pureed or mashed food. Tasting Trays for Toddlers Do I make a fancy board on a regular basis? No. For special occasions and holidays, you bet. Go in with a few family members to cut costs, that can help. Shop in your pantry before you go shopping at the grocery store. Chances are, you’ll have a handful of items you can use for your board right in your own pantry. The Best Cheeses to Use For my son (age 5) the tasting tray is a brilliant way to gauge his sensory reactions to foods. If you have a child with ASD like I do, or just one with extreme sensory reactions to foods, then you can use this style of eating to determine what types of food they either love or have aversions to.

Sustainable – meaning they’re good for the environment (or at least better than other options). Usually this means they’re silicone, stainless steel, or bamboo. Let’s talk cheeses and little plates and dishes you can use. Before I start anything else I like to choose first my board, because that will give me an idea how much I need for my board, second my cheeses and third, little dishes to include. At the end of the day, undivided plates and divided plates are both great! Why not switch it up? Divided Plate RecommendationsTasting trays can be just as beneficial for toddlers as they typically move into the fussy eating stage. They can be made bright and colourful, injecting a bit of fun into a meal that would otherwise be a bit dull for a young child.

I, on the other hand, could probably cause a pot of boiling water to catch on fire. Pretty much the only things that I “cook” either: 1) come out of a box 2) can be cooked completely in a microwave or 3) are salad. Non-toxic material – no BPA, but I actually say to avoid plastics in general, if you can (AAP recommends avoiding use of plastics for anything that touches baby’s mouth/food). Your child might not like every food you give him or her on the first try. Give your child a chance to try foods again and again, even if he or she does not like them at first. Children may need to try some foods many times before they like them. Here are some tips that might make trying foods again and again easier. Various cheeses– Nice cheeses and meats are generally on the pricier side. With that said, it feeds A LOT of people.For babies, tasting trays are a brilliant opportunity to serve a really wide variety of food in one meal. Because the portions are small, babies get to try a little bit of everything. But my biggest recommendation is to grab a bowl or plate that has suction! I love this option, and basically find it a necessity, especially for babies. The suction helps prevent the bowl/plate from moving around as your baby tries to eat, making things easier for them. But also, let’s face it, babies are going to be super messy, and will probably throw items off their highchair tray more than once (as I mentioned earlier too!). So, choose a plate with amazing suction to help minimize unnecessary mess by discouraging plate throwing. small dry pasta– Elbow pasta is most common for classic mac and cheese, but you can use any small pasta of your choice.
