Do you have a picky eater at home? Make finding and eating foods fun with Rainbow Eating! Challenge your kiddo to pick out foods from your fridge or local grocery store in every color of the rainbow!

This strategy helps children become engaged with food, and practices skills such as:

1. Sensory Processing: Children get the chance to touch, see, smell, and interact with non-preferred foods in a stress-free way.
2. Visual Scanning: Children can find foods in the fridge to match each color!
3. Following Directions: “I spy…. A red food!”
4. Attention to Task/Memory: Challenge your child to find 3 foods in each color!
5. Color Identification: For younger children, this is a great functional way to learn how to identify basic colors in a fun and creative way.
