PLAYING WITH FOOD NOW MOM APPROVED
NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) – You mom may have told you never to play with your food – but today’s mothers are endorsing the practice whole- heartedly. Case in point: the upcoming Child magazine advises moms to let their kids make real-life Mr. Potato Heads out of their dinner potatoes because it will encourage the tots to eat their veggies. Other playful ways to trick you kids into eating their vegetables... Refer to broccoli as “trees” or “bushes” and let your kids pretend to be dinosaurs. Slice celery stalks into thin pieces, stick a dollop of cream cheese on the end and let your kids go “fishing” for goldfish crackers. And, finally, parenting experts say it’s perfectly OK for moms to let their kids engage in “sword” fights using asparagus spears.
