Sea Turtle Snack Time: Gather a variety of healthy snacks that children might not have tried before, such as different fruits, vegetables, or nuts. Create a “snack adventure” where each child gets to taste a small piece of each item. Encourage them to describe the taste, texture, and smell. Ask them, “Which snack was your favorite and why?” and “How did it feel to try something new?”
Ocean Explorer Art: Provide children with art supplies like paper, crayons, and stickers. Ask them to draw their own ocean scene, including the sea turtle and other sea creatures they might imagine. Encourage them to add foods they think the sea turtle might like to try. Discuss with them, “What new foods did you add for the sea turtle?” and “How do you think the sea turtle feels when trying new foods?”
Flavor Adventure Journal: Create a simple journal where children can draw or write about new foods they try at home or in school. Encourage them to share their experiences with the class. Ask them, “What new food did you try this week?” and “How did you feel before and after trying it?” This activity helps them reflect on their bravery and the fun of exploring new tastes.
