Whether you need an idea for school lunches and afternoon snacks, are planning a slumber party for third-graders or want to teach your kids to appreciate cuisine, we’ve got the foods that will open their eyes to vistas beyond fast-food and pizza. All of our choices make great gifts for kids, too.

Nibble Tip

Teach kids to develop their palates by having a weekly tasting of something familiar to them. It can be different brands of cream cheese, vanilla ice creams, chocolate bars, cupcakes, muffins. Create a list of terms—sweet/salty, dense/light, spicy/bland, dry/moist—and different flavors that they can look to identify. Rather than just, “I don't know why, I just like it,” they’ll soon be more articulate than many adults. Make it a game to keep adding to your list of terms each week.
