In general, vegetables are the foods that children find most difficult to accept. That's why I thought it was great to propose the idea of eat with cutlery of vegetables.
And the post comes with second, because the design of these original cutlery made of bioplastic from the collection Qiyun Deng's Graft from Cargo Collective have given me the idea that children use vegetables, but really, as cutlery. What do you think?
You don't have to be a design genius. We can make them ourselves with a carrot, a celery, a leek or a small potato. Of course, they must be vegetables that stand firm, to which we can stick a stick at one end. There are sticks with a round tip, or if you have better cut a chopstick, to minimize the risk of accidents.
Anyway you have to be careful and watch them not to get hurt, but the same that we should have when handling cutlery.
You can also use some vegetables, such as spoon-shaped celery, for use so as is to take food. It is a way to play, practice using cutlery, and each time they take it to their mouth they feel its flavor.
In short, a healthy relationship with food is based on manipulation and experimentation with textures and flavors. Although they end up stained to the ears letting them play with food is the best way to do it.
