Help! I can't get my children to warm up to new foods!

Recently, we’ve received quite a bit of feedback from our readers asking how they can get their kiddos to try new, less-processed foods. The truth is, converting your family, especially if they’re picky eaters, can take time. But don’t let that deter you! We know how difficult it can be, which is why we’re super excited to share this fun Taste Testing Game for Picky Eaters.

What kid doesn't want to be a mad scientist?! A little imagination can go a long way...

Mixing, matching and creating new culinary concoctions is a great way to have a little fun while exposing your kids to new foods. Kick it up a notch by staging your kitchen as a scientists’ lab, wearing silly glasses, putting on a crazy colored lab coat or including this game as a fun slumber party activity.

You can even make it a blind taste testing game with a simple bandana as a blindfold. Because girl or boy, who doesn’t love stepping outside of the day-to-day to become a world famous scientist who conducts food experiments with his or her amazing assistant (you!), in their luxurious laboratory.

Our family, friends and fellow readers have had a lot of success with this taste testing game and we’re hopeful you will too.

It takes patience and persistence.

It really does take a dozen times or more to acquire a taste for (and enjoy) certain new foods. Seriously, there have been studies that prove this (and we’ve seen it firsthand with our families). Getting your kids to embrace new foods is possible, so don’t throw in the towel all because they didn’t like a particular food the first time.

Here's what to do:
