From Play to the Dining Table
Wouldn't it be wonderful if our children came running (on their own) when food was ready, if they eagerly ate the food served – and even stayed seated and enjoyed themselves at the dinner table with us.
But that's not always the reality.
Because children can find it REALLY difficult to transition from playing/screens to the dinner table. Just as they can find it hard to stay seated at the table – especially after a long day.
But fortunately, it is possible; they just need a little help getting there.
That's why I've developed this card set, which gives you the "3-step method" that helps you with the 3 most important steps in the entire meal process: Before the meal, getting to the dinner table, and the meal itself.
The cards are divided into 3 steps:
THE GREEN CARDS: Present games that help your child regulate and feel their body before the meal
THE RED CARDS: "Things you can say" that help your child come to the table happily
THE BLUE CARDS: Imaginative conversation cards/mealtime games that make it fun for your child to stay seated
It just saved the whole dinner and he completely forgot he was grumpy and cheered up, eating his dinner almost without thinking about it 💪😍 So thank you for making them – they truly bring peace to our meals and we get to talk in a fun and exciting way!– Louise
I'm a grandma and I have them with me every Thursday. The oldest, who is 4 years old, even asks if I have them. We have a good time, and there's more time to eat. And more food gets eaten because they focus on the cards. The 4-year-old occasionally expresses wishful dreams, which can easily come true - really sweet things.– Jette
They are brilliant - I bought a pack in the spring and introduced my foster children to them. They thought they were so much fun - developing language, imagination and so much more. And their answers change from time to time to the same questions.
About the cards
✔️ The cards are for parents with children aged approx. 2-10 years (I write "approx." because there is a big difference between children and their linguistic understanding).
✔️ There are 55 cards in total:
– 15 green cards (activity cards)
– 20 red cards (activity cards)
– 20 blue cards (conversation cards)
The cards can be used for…
✔ To help your child regulate and sense their body before the meal – so that their appetite can develop.
✔ To have a happy child at the table.
✔ For your child to find sitting at the dinner table enjoyable.
✔ To help you focus on the good atmosphere, rather than what and how much your child eats.
✔ To increase curiosity for food through imagination and presence.
✔ To build bridges for better cooperation at mealtime.
