This food modelling game aims to:
- Reduce fear of new foods by building familiarity - seeing, touching, and smelling foods
- Use playdough or saltdough modelling as a way to encourage children to observe, touch and explore fruits and vegetables without any fear of being made to eat them
- Build manual skills and get children to discuss food in a non dinner table environment
- Build vocabulary to describe textures and shapes
- Instructions
- Saltdough or playdough
- Paints and brushes (if using saltdough)
