#veg #EYFS
Tomatoes are at their seasonal best - it's the perfect time to introduce them. Especially if you can get your hands on a sweeter variety or pick them off the plant. Then explore the fruit with your senses!
Familiarity helps to build taste even if they don’t want to try today. 🍅
#sensoryfooded
Huge thanks to all of our ambassador schools for their pioneering work in bringing TastEd to life - we couldn't do it without you. And thanks to the folks at Natoora who kindly donated a box of seasonal delights for children to explore with all of their senses! #foodeducation #primaryschool
