Picky Eaters No More!

Many parents know that children are picky eaters. The food may look, smell or feel weird or abnormal. As they grow older, parents struggle to get their children to try the foods they turned down as children. This activity will also teach them a good lesson about judging. The phrase "You can't judge a book by its cover" is commonly told to stubborn people who refuse to try anything new or come to conclusions with no supportive reasons or explanations. this issue can be applied to food, sports and making new friends. This activity stresses the fact that people need to try something before they come to a conclusion about it. You cannot judge a person by their clothes, religion or the way they speak. You can only do so after getting to know the person very well. This is an excellent way to get students to learn to wait before they judge foods, activities and people.
Blindfold Test!

By blindfolding the child, they cannot judge a food by the way it looks. This is similar to how a person cannot judge a person by just looking at them.

By comparing the vegetables to activities or people that children judge without complete knowledge and understanding, the child will hopefully be open to trying more foods, activities and being friends with more types of people.
