A child should associate mealtime with pleasure, and the fun appearance of a dish can go a long way. Playful presentations are easily done and stimulate his imagination. Vegetable slices, small sticks, rings, play with shapes and colors to tell a story on your child’s plate. A study¹ has also observed that children prefer small vegetables, hence the usefulness of cutting them into small pieces. It is also possible to invent games at mealtime to amuse him even more. So do not hesitate, on this occasion, to solicit your own imagination.
