3. MAKING IT FUN
Kids find it hard to sit still and see dinner differently to adults. Therefore our approach to dinner is from a kids perspective. Funny names This is the start of the fun by engaging their imagination in kooky names like Swamp Monster or Slippery Suckers. Creating a Scene Time to think what appeals to a child and present dinner in a fun way. Kids eat with their eyes and respond well to colour and design. Remember you don’t have to be Van Gogh of the food world, kids have great imaginations. Broccoli may never look like a tree to you but to a kid it can! We show you how this photo’s and instructions. Game Time We suggest a game to play with dinner. Kids love to play games and game are a great way to create happy meal experiences. Games can be as simple as playing aeroplanes to everyone putting the same food on their fork. Games are great to use when mum is in a rush as they require no preparation or effort. As an added bonus games can help cultivate social and verbal skills and involve the whole family. Hands on One of the best ways to making food fun is involving kids in the cooking of dinner. Food isn't as scary if they have helped prepare it so they are much more enthusiastic about eating dinner. All it takes is a little extra time from you. We list tasks for your child to help with dinner.

4. ADULT FRIENDLY
2nd sitting We only expect you to cook one evening meal. If the family can’t eat together, then we suggest how to serve it later for the parents.		Spice it up Parents need the option of jazzing up their evening meal while still being able to eat with the children. Spice it up is what you do to make it adult friendly.
