How cute?! SAVE to use up those mandarin peelings! 🍊

Some toddlers loveee mandarins, while others won’t ever touch them 🥲

And it feels so defeating when you’re like “dude it’s gooood just try it!” But it truly can take so many exposures until a toddler feels comfy + confident to try a bite!

Snack activities like this gets them touching the food in a casual way, builds familiarity, and even the opportunity for them to take a nibble during the process 🥹 (don’t forget to SHOW them how to eat it too!)

Here’s how to make the mandarin peel garland:
– punch star shapes from the peel, poke 2 small holes
– bake at 200°F for about 2 hours until dry
– thread onto twine or yarn & hang up

Such a sweet, low-pressure way to build exposure & fine motor skills! Plus a cute dainty keepsake - kinda wanna do a different fruit for each year?!!

SHARE with another mama who needs ideas for opening her toddler up to trying new foods & lmk if you try this 

And if you’re tired of guessing how to actually help your toddler try new foods, comment READY to learn simple + personalized strategies that work for your toddler! 🫶🏼
