Food Explorers: A Sensory-Based Food Experience for Ages 2–5
Development Therapy is thrilled to partner with Happy Place Cooking Space to offer Food Explorers, a playful and enriching six-week course designed for children ages 2 to 5. Through sensory-based exploration using sight, smell, touch, sound, and taste, children will interact with a wide variety of foods in fun and developmentally appropriate ways.
This class is designed for children who struggle with selective eating, food aversions, or eating challenges. If your child is a hesitant eater or would benefit from gentle, consistent exposure to different textures, smells, and food experiences, Food Explorers offers the perfect opportunity to begin expanding their diet in a positive, engaging, and low-pressure environment.
Led and supported by a licensed pediatric occupational therapist, this class is thoughtfully designed to support each child’s individual sensory needs. Activities are adapted to promote comfort, curiosity, and success at every level of readiness.
This series runs for six weeks.
