The Toddler Caf‪é‬

A creative guide to making mealtime fun instead of frustrating, with over fifty recipes! “Finally . . . A cookbook that encourages kids to play with their food.” —Times Union
 
Every toddler goes through a temporary phase when they want nothing but “O”-shaped cereal. But the real challenge for parents is getting kids to ask for fruit salad instead of cupcakes.
 
Faced with this seemingly impossible task with her own child, Jennifer Carden has created The Toddler Café, a guide to making mealtime with children fun and interactive. It offers simple, creative ways for kids to look at their food differently—like saying tuna salad is what mermaids eat—or making Minty Pea Pops in ice cube trays. Carden has created over fifty unique recipes that encourage families (including toddlers) to work together to prepare, eat, clean up, and best of all, look forward to a healthy, delicious meal.
