Free printable: foods I explored chart
A simple chart for tracking new foods one small step at a time. Looking and smelling count.
Foods I explored
Tick or sticker each step you tried. Every step counts, and "no, thank you" is always okay.
| Food | Looked | Smelled | Touched | Licked | Tasted |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
How families use it
Write a food in the first column, then mark each step your child chooses to try. Many children need to meet a new food many times before they eat it, so a row that stops at "smelled" is still progress. Keep it on the fridge and let your child add the marks.
This is a family activity and general information, not medical, feeding or nutrition advice. If you have concerns about your child's eating or growth, talk to your pediatrician.
From the maker: Picky Table is run by the person who makes MunchGuard, a free iPhone and iPad app where parent-approved mealtime videos play while a child is chewing and pause when they stop.
