Instructions:
- Set out 6–10 soft, stackable cubes of food.
- Encourage your child to build a “tower” by gently stacking pieces on top of one another.
- Let them knock it down and rebuild—or turn it into a silly game (how tall can you go?).
- Allow them to explore textures, squish, or taste as they play—no pressure to eat!
Tips:
- Use soft foods for younger children (e.g., steamed veggies, soft cheese) to reduce frustration.
- Narrate as they build: “one block, two blocks…”—great for language and counting skills.
- If your child prefers order, try sorting pieces by color, shape, or size.
- For kids hesitant to touch food, you can model stacking, use dry foods like crackers, or use tongs to start.
- Always supervise if using toothpicks or skewers (and avoid for young toddlers).
