HOW TO DEAL WITH MESSY EATING

Messy eating is part of childhood, a process that is filled with curiosity, play and learning. Let’s take a deeper dive into this stage of development.

As kids learn to feed themselves, they go through lots of different developmental phases that contribute to the occasional mess mothers encounter during mealtimes. From grasping food with tiny hands to wielding spoons, forks and cups, each step requires patience, practice and muscle coordination. Mess is part of the learning process, so brace yourself for a few spills along the way!

PLAYTIME

Believe it or not, playing with food isn’t just mischievous fun - it serves an essential purpose in children’s development. Through playing with their food, kids hone their fine motor skills and continue learning about different foods, even after mastering the art of eating without spills.
