Bean Appetit: Hip and Healthy Ways to Have Fun with Food

Age Range: 2 to 10 years

What It’s About: Playing with food. The chapters are creatively organized into sections featuring outdoor eats, food art, edible game night and more.

Why We Love It: This funny book is filled to the brim with recipes and activities that engage the whole family and inspire lifelong healthy eating habits. Look for the clever icons, such as the Refined Bean for tips on table manners, or Table Talk for quirky questions to spark conversation.

Fun Food Tip: If you have a hard-boiled egg and a raw egg, it’s easy to tell them apart without cracking them open. Just spin them. The one that spins longer is hard-boiled!
