🍀 Lucky Little Taste Test! 🍀

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a fun (and slightly silly!) green food taste test!

Gather a few green foods like:
🥝 Kiwi
🥒 Cucumber
🥑 Avocado
🥬 Spinach
🍏 Green apple
🫛 Snap peas

Let your child:
✨ Take a tiny “brave bite”
✨ Describe the taste (sweet? crunchy? sour? smooth?)
✨ Give it a thumbs up or thumbs down
✨ Pick their “Lucky Favorite!”

Taste testing encourages children to try new foods in a low-pressure way while building confidence, expanding food choices, and practicing expressing their opinions.

Keep it playful. Keep it positive. And don’t forget, it’s okay if they don’t love everything. Trying is the win! 🍀
