You prepare the ingredients, and your child decides how to arrange them. This gives them a chance to explore new colours, smells and shapes of food at their own pace, without feeling that they have to taste everything they put on the plate.  <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to prepare a food game for kids?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Place a few ingredients you already have at home on the table. For example: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cooked pasta, rice or pieces of bread<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sliced tomatoes, cucumber or cooked carrots<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cheese, a boiled egg or another food your child likes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a little Orgula Bio Junior olive oil as a finishing touch<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose foods and cutting methods that are appropriate for your child\u2019s age. Then give them a task: \u201cCan you make a plate with three colours?\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If they want, children can also make a face out of vegetables, a road from pieces of bread or a garden on their plate. There is no right answer. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5632 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/orgula.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Igra-s-hranom-za-djecu-1.webp\" alt=\"Food game for kids \" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orgula.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Igra-s-hranom-za-djecu-1.webp 800w, https:\/\/orgula.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Igra-s-hranom-za-djecu-1-300x150.webp 300w, https:\/\/orgula.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Igra-s-hranom-za-djecu-1-768x384.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give your child a choice, but keep the rules simple<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offer two or three choices instead of all the foods in the fridge. For example: \u201cWould you like to add tomatoes or carrots today?\u201d This way, your child can take part while keeping meal preparation simple.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the plate is ready, you can add a little Orgula Bio Junior olive oil together. Ask your child what they like most about their plate. Today, they may simply observe a new food, and next time they might decide to taste it. That is also part of getting to know new foods.   <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more ideas, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/orgula.hr\/en\/blog\/?e-filter-97dbf5f-category=igre\">blog<\/a>, where we regularly cover topics you may find interesting.
