Snack time can go several different ways, depending on kids’ preferences. Offering multiple options may sound like effort, but everyone loves to help when they can design their own dish and be proud of a tasty outcome. We created a game that leaves everyone a winner to show kids how flavors come together and make foods delicious! Each combo tastes great, but subtle differences matter when developing a flavor palate.
