🍉❄️Freezing watermelon and grating it seems to be the rage lately! Here’s my take as a feeding specialist – how does it help kids’ eating skills?

1.❄️It’s more than COLD – it’s icy. Kids need to experience a variety of flavors and safe temperatures to become adventurous eaters, and I like that it’s not chokable, but melts quickly in their mouths.

2.🥣Speaking of melting, it melts quickly in the bowl. BUT, that’s going to provide great practice as kids learn to manage the liquid on the spoon, and not just the ice shavings. I see this being a wonderful way to develop spooning skills for soups – because kids are going to love the taste!

👉🏼PRO TIP: Keep the amount in the bowl very small, so that the liquid barely covers the spoon. This will minimize spills and help your child feel more successful. A bowl that sticks is also a huge help!

3.🧤Older kids can practice their kitchen skills (the more you get your kids in the kitchen, the more interested they’ll be in new foods!) by using a protective glove to hold the frozen slices of watermelon and grate safely into their individual bowls.

🗣️Comment TOOLS and I’ll send you link to over 30 tools for even the pickiest eaters to use in the kitchen, including the best child-sized safety gloves and more!
