Build Food Curiosity Through Play This Summer

A gentle, low-pressure guide to help your preschooler explore new foods through sensory and food-based play at their own pace.

This guide is actually one of the resources I give to my 1:1 clients but I wanted to share it more widely, because it can be such a valuable first step away from mealtimes when done correctly in a respectful, child-led way.

“Build Food Curiosity Through Play This Summer” is filled with simple, sensory-rich food play activities you can try at home during the holidays, all designed to gently support your little one in becoming more comfortable with new foods.

This isn’t about “getting” them to eat.
Your connection with your child is always the priority.
It’s about helping them feel safer, more curious, and more confident without pressure, battles or bribes.

Inside the guide, you’ll find:

✅ Easy food-based and non-food sensory play ideas
✅ Texture play to gently increase food interest
✅ Practical ways to build familiarity outside mealtimes
✅ Ideas that work for both cautious and curious eaters
