Baby Class – Tactile: Tasting Food
This week, baby class learnt about food and spices. They were introduced to some vocabularies dealing with the theme such as biscuit, bread, ginger, turmeric etc. At time, they had a chance to taste some finger and ginger biscuits.
They had a tasting and texture exploration of the food they were eating. Introducing the various types of food also helped the baby to enhance their oral motor hence it would improve their language competence. They learnt the way to chew food properly, hence they might not be choked easily.
Food exploration helped the babies to connect the type of the food they were eating to the vocabularies introduced in a very simple way. Moreover, it developed their confidence in exploring some food, then they started to develop their taste preference.
