Meal planning

[1potato]

I have a very fussy 2 year old and I'm not very good at planning so as a new year and fresh start I want to create a system where we have the same meals each day for a good few weeks. Stuff I know he will eat. I'd love for him to be involved and thought a visible meal planner would help. He can't read so pictures required. Any ideas? Stickers? Magnets?

I found getting my little boy involved in cooking helped him to be open to try different things. He was around this age and we'd ask him to pass us ingredients from the fridge. We used to put everything to his level in the fridge so he could reach it and he loved being involved. Just a suggestion as it surprised us how much more our little boy actually tried when he'd helped 😊

Ah that is such a good idea, thank you. Maybe I can try if I put a little step in front of thr fridge.

You can get child safe knives as well so that they can do some chopping. Both of mine loved helping to make a simple fruit salad at that age.

As for meal planning, I just use the reminders section on my phone abs share it with DH, then if I'm not there for any reason, he knows what to do.

What sorts of things does your LO like?
