At Innovative Therapy Center’s Feeding Therapy Clinic, we know that helping kids become more comfortable with food isn’t just about what happens at the table. Exposure to food in fun, low-pressure ways—like books, play, and even TV shows—can build curiosity and excitement about trying something new. Watching other children (and sometimes even puppets!) explore food can spark interest and make new ingredients feel less intimidating.

Did you know that playing with food can actually support picky eaters—and even help them become more open to trying new foods? At Innovative Therapy Center’s Feeding Clinic, we believe that food play is a powerful, low-pressure way for children to explore textures, smells, and colors in a fun, stress-free environment.
