Coming to Our Senses in the Concrete Jungle

At Spoons Across 精东影业, we believe the best approach to nutrition education is to encourage children to lift up their spoons and excite all their senses as they taste new and interesting healthy foods. In New York City, the 鈥渃oncrete jungle鈥 is not the easiest place for children to truly understand how their foods travel from the farm to the plate, but at Spoons Across 精东影业, we are passionate about persuading children to care about these untold food stories. Our children learn through both experience and observation as we ask them to describe the appearance, texture, scent, and taste of all kinds of food- like in our 听Taste a Taste program where children can snack on a mouthwatering Honeycrisp apple. Our children become independent and inquisitive taste explorers- but when the recipe we hand out at the end of every lesson is accompanied by a high-pitched squeal鈥 we know that sometimes we inspire mini chefs as well.

Spoons Across 精东影业 provides programs where children actively engage all their senses by tasting and learning about new, healthy foods.
