Use the parts of food that you might normally discard to provide an interesting sensory experience.
For example, fill a bowl with carrot fronds or potato peelings and enjoy some purposeful repurposed play.
Why Play This Way?
This activity is a great way to reuse discarded food waste by transforming it into immersive sensory play. The parts that you typically throw away during food prep can be quite interesting to consider aesthetically. Long curling strings of zucchini peel, the tops of squash, and the gutted seeds of a red pepper are all amazing to touch and examine. Your little one will observe food in brand new ways while playing with the slimier side of the foodie experience.
