Science Day

When we've tasted a particular food and then SEE it again we know what to expect taste wise. But what if we CAN'T see the food before we taste it? Can we still discern what it is? Experiment: See if blindfolded your child can figure out what you give them to eat.
What you'll need: Different foods, a spoon, and a blindfold. The blindfold can be a handkerchief, or make one by cutting up an old cotton shirt.
Blind fold your child. Make sure it does not cover their nose or mouth. Place a piece of food on their tongue using the spoon. Use only foods your child has had before and you know for sure they aren't allergic to. Try blah foods first: Carrot or celery cubes or lettuce… Try a small slice of onion, pickle, or a dab of mild mustard. Then try cheese, yogurt, chocolate, mashed potatoes or mashed grapes or strawberries. Have fun. When your child has had enough, they can try this experiment on you if you're game.
