Their help may be messy but adorable! And you're right; it's such a joyful moment when they proudly show off their newfound skills and eat their "masterpieces."
It is quite fascinating how they are so willing to help, albeit in their very clumsy and uncoordinated ways. must be so rewarding for them!

I worry that my toddler doesn't get enough variety in his diet because he's picky about food. He tends to favor carbs over anything else, which isn't healthy in the long run. How do I introduce new foods without triggering a tantrum?

Hah! Being a mum to young kids definitely has its hands-on challenges - totally agree! But it's also rewarding when we figure things out, like solving a fun little mystery. Toddlerhood is such an adorable phase with all those cute quips and quirky personalities. I enjoy discovering little hacks to make the experience richer, like getting them involved in cooking or creating fun snacks cut into shapes they adore! It adds a whimsical touch to mealtimes. But of course, every child is different, and finding the right approach can be perplexing!

It can be challenging; children can be persistently picky! Distraction techniques could help - a fun activity or a new, exciting dish might shift his focus. Also, involving your child in preparing meals might pique his interest in novel foods. Remember, it's normal for kids to be wary of new tastes and textures - they're just being cautious, really!
