App Detail » Choose My Food

App Description

Customize your picky eater’s journey to a healthy diet

For some kids, even the most basic foods are a challenge. Different textures, tastes, smells, temperatures and colors can all be overwhelming and unwelcome to the picky eater.

CHOOSE MY FOOD allows kids to explore, choose and ultimately try a range of healthy foods! If you have a child with autism, special needs or an extremely picky eater, CHOOSE MY FOOD is a useful tool for introducing food in a fun and stress-free manner.
Choice, Control, Motivation, Fun!

CHOOSE MY FOOD gives kids options and a sense of control over what they eat.

• Explore 100+ foods (fruits, vegetable, familiar breakfast, lunch and dinner foods) within and outside of a child’s comfort zone with lots of visuals.
• Ease the anxiety of tasting a new food by making the process fun!
• Motivate kids through game play by earning cool virtual stickers and stars for foods tried.
• Give kids a sense of control through the selection and rating process. Color-coded stars help kids track their progress and rate the foods they’ve tried.
• Reward stickers encourage kids to give new foods a try!

Key Customizable Features:
✭ Enables customization of foods and sticker groupings to be earned.*
✭ Includes a broad range of foods, but also allows the user to add new ones. If you don’t see the food of your choice on the list, create a food and add your own photo using your iPhone / iPad camera!
✭ Multi-user game - enough avatars for the whole family and some.

*Every child is different and faces unique feeding challenges. Parents/therapists can customize the sticker groupings to help kids broaden their pallet and diet. For example: If soft and wet foods are a challenge, a sticker grouping can be created to include soup, yogurt and applesauce. When the child completes the tasks of trying those foods, he/she will rewarded with a virtual sticker.

NOTES

Food Allergies / Special Diets
If your child has food allergies, aversions or is on a special diet, they can still join in the fun of learning. Feel free to give your child credit for learning about the foods they can’t taste, by allowing them to rate foods and earn stars and stickers. There are gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan-friendly foods included in this adventure.

Recommended Age
Pre-K and up.
Easy enough for little ones to use yet sophisticated enough for big kids to appreciate.
