Spoon Scoop Adventure

A warm, playful mealtime activity where parent and child practice scooping soft foods with a spoon, exploring textures and building self-feeding confidence during a regular meal.

Free to do together whenever you like.

What you'll need

Place a small bowl with a few spoonfuls of a soft, scoopable food (like mashed banana, yogurt, or oatmeal) in front of your child. Give them a child-sized spoon. Sit beside them with your own bowl if you like.

How it works

The 3-step guide, with what to look for at each step, is for signed-in parents.
