Milkshake-making is a sensory delight for kids. From selecting fresh fruits like bananas, strawberries, and mangoes to touching, smelling, and tasting them, children become more familiar with the ingredients. This hands-on experience enhances their fruit recognition skills in a way that’s far more engaging than looking at pictures in a book.
Through this process, kids not only learn the names of fruits but also gain a better understanding of their textures, colors, and flavors. For picky eaters, it can be a game-changer. When children take part in the creation of their own snacks, they’re more likely to try and enjoy healthy foods.
Building Food Awareness and Healthy Habits
Learning doesn’t stop at recognizing fruits. At The Open Flow an international school in Bali, we use this activity to teach kids about the benefits of wholesome eating. While blending their milkshakes, children explore how fruits provide vitamins and energy. It’s an early introduction to the importance of balanced nutrition, all wrapped up in a fun, interactive experience.
What’s more, this activity fosters mindfulness around food. Kids begin to appreciate where their meals come from and the effort it takes to prepare them. This awareness lays the foundation for lifelong healthy eating habits.
A Creative and Inclusive Learning Environment
At The Open Flow, our goal is to create a learning environment where every child feels valued and included. Milkshake-making is a perfect example of this philosophy. It’s a collaborative activity that encourages children to work together, share ideas, and express their creativity. Whether it’s choosing which fruits to mix or experimenting with different combinations, kids learn that their contributions matter.
We also celebrate the diversity of tastes and preferences among children. Some might love the sweetness of mangoes, while others might prefer the tangy kick of pineapples. By respecting these differences, we teach kids the value of individuality and collaboration.
