Activity of the Day

I Spy (Meal Time Edition)

Make mealtime fun with a creative twist.

Things You’ll Need:

• Assorted fruits, vegetables and other food items

• Cookie cutters (optional)

• A plate for assembling the food objects

• Imagination and creativity!

Step-by-step Process:

1. Wash and cut a variety of fruits and vegetables. Use cookie cutters to create fun shapes, or simply carve them into recognizable objects like stars, animals, or letters.

2. Arrange the food pieces on a plate to form different objects. Get creative—think of items like a car made from cucumber slices and cherry tomatoes, or a flower with apple slices and grapes.

3. Play I Spy: Present the plate to your child and play the I Spy game. For example, say “I spy with my little eye… a flower.” When your child guesses correctly, they get to take a bite of the food object.

4. Continue creating new food objects and playing the game throughout the meal. This keeps your child engaged and excited about eating their food.

2. Make it a family activity where everyone takes turns guessing and eating.
