Who says playing with food is a bad thing? Letting your little one play around with their food is a great sensory experience and can help to develop problem solving skills, concentration, and comfort in trying new things! Here are some fun Snack n Play ideas that you can try with your little ones this weekend.
Match The Numbers
What you'll need:
1) Muffin liners or small containers
2) Number cards
3) Little Blossom Organic Brown Rice Puffs
How to play?
1) Lay out your muffin liners or small containers
2) Place your number cards below the containers (start slowly with numbers 0 to 5, and work your way up!)
3) Get your little one to place the correct number of puffs in the containers
4) As a reward, snack on our puffs as you go along!
Pro Tip #1: When starting out, get your little one to say the numbers out loud to help her remember each number in chronological order
Pro Tip #2:To increase difficulty, jumble up the numbers and ask your little one to match the numbers!
Sort The Colours
What you'll need:
1) 4x Little Blossom Organic Brown Rice Puffs
2) 4x small bowls
3) 1x big bowl/plate
How to play?
1) Mix all four flavours of our organic puffs in the big bowl or plate (only take a little of everything to prevent food wastage!)
2) Get your little one to sort the puffs and place them into the matching bowls
Pro Tip #1: Use colour-coded bowls to make this easier for your little one!
Make Letters
What you'll need:
1) Little Blossom Organic Brown Rice Puffs
2) 1x big bowl/plate
How to play?
1) Get your little one to 'draw' out the different alphabets on the plate
2) Level up by getting your little one to spell different words with our puffs!
Create A Masterpiece
What you'll need:
1) Little Blossom Organic Brown Rice Puffs
2) Assorted cut fruits / veggies
3) Flattened Bread
4) Reference image
How to play?
1) Choose your reference image, and identify what materials you'll need to create the artwork
2) In this case, cut out the bread into a circle shape and flatten it - this will be our face
3) Halve a grape (this will be for the eyes), and thinly slice an apple (this will be for the mouth)
4) Assemble the face by starting with the bread and layering it
5) Use puffs to assemble the hair, and you are done!
Pro Tip #1: Get your little one to identify the different facial parts as you make the artwork!
Pro Tip #2: Let your little one's imagination run wild, and see where their creativity takes you ;)
