Here’s a good game to play when you get home from the supermarket. Once everything is packed away, ask your little one (or little ones) to close their eyes – then hand them a piece of fruit or a vegetable. Their job, perhaps unsurprisingly given the name of the game, is to guess the veg. It’s a fun way to get kids more engaged with the food they eat.
