Feeding and sensory development are deeply connected. Children learn about food through their senses long before they’re ready to eat it. This resource gives you simple, safe ingredient ideas you can find in your home to help your child explore food in fun, pressure-free ways.
If your child tends to resist meals or messy play, becomes distressed when new foods are introduced, constantly wants to clean their hands or face, eats only a limited variety of foods, or gags or spits food out, this resource is for you. These can all be signs that your child needs extra support developing the sensory and self-regulation skills that make eating feel safe and enjoyable.
By exploring food through sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell without pressure to eat, your child learns to process new sensations in a fun, relaxed way. Join in, describe what you notice, and celebrate each step. The more sensory experiences your child has, the more confident and open they’ll become around food.
