Food, Food & Food!!

Yeay!!!

It is FOOD’s Day today.

 

I woke up early in the morning the prepare the Chapatti... or maybe I slightly cheated a little bit because actually I use the instant Chapatti..shhhh!!!!!

 

I was 10mins late and luckily Teacher Aishah wasn’t in the class yet. Phewww!

 

In today’s class, we were taught about:

1)    Food Pyramid

2)   The Important of a Good Eating Habit for Kids

3)   How to create a menu for babies, and 1-4 years old children

4)   How to present the kid’s “UNWANTED” food

5)   Preparing the lesson plan for the “Amali”  Exam

 

We were divided to 4 groups. Each group were given a specific menu 2 weeks earlier. The menus were:

1)    Banana based food for breakfast

2)   Banana based food for evening snack

3)   Rice based food for lunch

4)   Noodle based food for evening snack

 

We decided to make “Chapatti Bites” which was an alternative menu altered from the Philippine famous menu the “Turron” for our banana evening snack menu. I forgot which original website I took this recipe but you can easily find the related recipe by typing “Banana Dog Bites” / Banana Snacks for Children in your search engine.

Some useful tips for parents:

1)    Kids are attracted to colourful food

2)   Creative presentation of the food may enhance them to eat what they don’t want to eat

3)   Create an amazing “Food World” for kid to explore
