Gentle food exploration

Bella's Brave Bites.

A calm, pressure-free challenge for meeting unfamiliar foods, smells, flavours and textures one small step at a time.

A gentle food exploration activity with colourful fruit and textures

Exploration, never pressure

Look. Touch. Smell. Taste. Rate.

A child does not have to eat the food to succeed. Looking at it, touching it or noticing its smell can each be a positive step.

No labels No forcing No failing
