A novel way to get a toddler eating carrots.....

[colditz]

Cut into batons, cook until soft, and serve with.....

A dippy egg!!! It worked, he has eaten a big portion of carrots, without even pulling any faces!

Carrots are my 17mo DD's fav food will eat before chocolate!!!

my ds hates all veg, carrots especially, I have no idea why, he just stopped eating them one day. I serve veh every day, it just gets ignored.

He is one of those annoying small children who cannot be bribed with ketchup either.

dd doesnt like carrots but does like eating 'green trees' (ie broccoli). One day she even said she was eating the apples on the tree-strange child!!

My ds (3) would eat clothes pegs if you gave him something to dip them into!!! He LOVES dipping things..homous, mild salsa, anything!! It's how I got him to eat raw veg as well as cooked...he will even eat raw broccoli and cauliflower now!!

Yep, my DD is heavily into dipping too. Also, sauces/condiments etc. Today, having dipped fish/bread/cucumber into her tomato soup, she asked for mustard on her sweetcorn, and mayonnaise on her broccoli...we usually eat normally, honest...

I was stumped the other day though, when my dd2 (age 2 1/2) asked for a dippy egg and soup for her lunch.
