Rainbow Food Ideas for Kids

Rainbow Plates

It can be challenging to figure out what to cook for your little one. I thought after bottles the struggle would be over. I didn't realize that I would have to plan three meals daily. Some days are granola bar days but I looked into the ingredients and wanted to provide him more nutrition. He can be a super picky eater so I have to sneak in some ingredients. 

I will be posting a recipe from this page each week to help you mix up your meals at your house. Enjoy the moment and try getting them involved when you cook. It helps them to feel pride in what they are eating. Let me know in the comments what your little one liked and how you feel about meal times in your house.

I see many people talking and using Maria Montessori's way of teaching and learning practices. But many have no idea about her philosophy or many other wonderful philosophers' ideas about learning and development. Each week, I will be posting about a new philosopher and briefly their theories. I would love to hear what you think of their philosophy or if you have heard of them in the comments.  The first philosopher I want to talk about is Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development: Jean Piaget's theory is based on children organizing the environment around them. We constantly create, refine, change, modify, and recognize our mental representation of experiences. Each developmental stage is built on and incorporates the accomplishments of the previous one.  Stage 1 - Sensorimotor stage- (Birth- 2 years) - Children learn to identify object permanence.
