Mr 2 is the foodie in my family, eating almost anything he is served. Sometimes though, he can be a little fussy. Lately he’s been fussy with, of all things, sandwiches! I’ll serve him his lunch and he’ll nibble on his fruit and vegetables but barely touch his sandwiches.
I thought, maybe he’s a little bored with sandwiches and I need to present his lunch in a more interesting and inviting format to entice him to eat. So, out came my box of Bento Supplies…
I used a Mini Teddy shaped cutter to cut little Teddy’s out of his peanut butter sandwich. I placed each Teddy on top of a dried apricot – one of his favorite treats! I figured that if he wanted to enjoy his apricot, he’d have to eat his sandwich first. This backfired a little as he simply lifted each teddy to remove the treat hiding underneath.
There are also grapes in a flower cup and frozen corn in a star cup.
Thankfully, presenting his lunch in this bento inspired box resulted in him devouring his peanut butter sandwich Teddy’s (and the rest of his lunch too) – a great success in my opinion!
I’d love to hear from you – what tricks do you do when faced with a fussy eater?
