“We are making these yoghurt dough pizzas soon” is exactly what you will be thinking as you read through this blog post. This is a great starter meal for kids to make as they wade their way into making main meals with you. As I will always attest, I know it is easier to get kids to help with baking sweet treats BUT there are so many more exposures to what are “typically more difficult foods” for fussy kids when…

![When you look at the picture you took of Sunday night's dinner and think..... Mmmm.... That would have made a tasty #SmallWorld dinosaur scene.
What dinosaur #picturebooks inspire your dino-obsessed-kids to play??? I work on dinosaur chews (amongst a wide range of oral motor skill development exercises in my therapy role).... It fascinates me that kids will show me their dinosaur teeth more than the teeth of sharks/lions/jaguars/[insert-any-other-not-so-extinct-animal-here]. How do dinos engage the imagination SOOO well? 😕😁

#getcreativewith small 🌎s is this week's juicy challenge from the @get.creative.with team. A few weeks ago we made an edible beach small world that was so much fun too! Check it out in my stories, if you missed it first time around.

![🍟I see you Chip🍟.
.
One of our fave books from last summer, Chip by @kylie_howarth, is next on our #MSReadathon list.
For some #bookishplay head on an adventure to the coastline and find your own Chip. [We went to Woy Woy yesterday and spied a seagull amongst the roof dwelling pelicans.] Or make a paper plate chip like we did from our @inspirebookbox!
Chip, the seagull, endearingly finds a way to work for a delicious meal... Yup, even more delicious than hot chips. 🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟
.
Throughout August, miss E [6 yo] will be reading, crafting, cooking and laughing through as many books as she can to raise money for the MS Readathon. She is so excited to raise money for kids who have a parent living with MS. Funds raised by the MS Readathon go toward sending kids on awesome Family Camps where they can learn about MS and have fun with their family.
We hope you enjoy the books, ideas and occassional nutrition tip from us during the month.

!["Seize your moment" and make your Coco inspired guitar from a recycled, orange-painted edamame bean tray, some rubber bands and a wooden spoon.
We have a picture book adaptation of the #disney #movie #Coco at home. It is on our reading list for this month's #MSReadathon.
I find #bookishplay so much fun and when it teams food, recycling and music, it is way 😎! Have you checked out the #getcreativewith posts this week? Awesome inspo led by @get.creative.with as usual.

![🌴 Never Never Land 🌴
If there is a word I don't ever team with food ... It is "never". Because you honestly never know.
We made our own version of Peter Pan bread to match miss E's WIP reading for the MS Readathon.
We threw in some green for Peter (grated broccoli stem and herbs) and a sprinkle of yellow fairy dust (mozzarella cheese).

![👑Princess Hair👑
Another two books were read by miss E today as part of her #MSReadathon quest including "Princess Hair" by Sharee Miller.
.
🌺We spiralised carrots to twist and plat (braid). We weaved ribbons of carrot too. Some fun, fine-motor hair extension (😂) play based on a book embracing all sorts of hair styles, interests and celebrating individuality.
.
🍁A fun #picturebook inspired #getcreativewith challenge this week for weaving with nature (scroll for video). [See @get.creative.with
for more weaving fun].

🍎Nutrition tip: playing with food outside of mealtimes comes with less pressure for kids to eat them. They may surprise you with a smell, touch, lick or taste of something that is new to them. In my 3rd picture you will see a variety of carrot shapes, these count as "new foods" for kids ~ they have diffferent sensory properties! ~ Which one is wetter? Drier? Has a bigger smell? Makes their fingers more orange? Lots of fun sensory play from one carrot!
