DHAKA: Here are some fun ways to teach your children more about food, reports The Times of India.

One should always start early when it comes to teaching kids about food and inculcating good food habits in them. Here are a few things you could try to teach your kids about food, while also making it a fun process ---

Fruit colors: Take a bunch of fruits. While keeping some of them raw, juice some in front of them or make smoothies! This way, they will learn about colors, textures and will also know how each fruit will taste when mixed with some other fruit or vegetable.

Sandwich marathon: Put out some breads and a lot of different ingredients, sauces and add-ons. Let your kids choose their fillings and sauces, which will help them learn about varieties of sandwiches and what tastes good with what.

The games: Put varieties of beans and lentils in different cups and place them on the table. Make flash cards of the names, colors and use. Play a memory game with your kids to help them know their beans and daal better.
