True or false? Kit had to love the new food to be brave.
What is a fine way to start with a new food? 🤏 A tiny bite / 😮 A huge bite / 🚫 Never try it
Fix the mistake. Bun says, 'I did not love it, so I will never try it again.' What is better? 🍞 Hide it under the toast / 😝 Say it is yucky / 🌱 Try it again another day, because tastes can grow
Stretch: Kit's plate is only pale toast and cheese. How could he make it more like a rainbow? 🍞 Add more toast / 🥕 Add a little carrot, grapes and broccoli / 🧀 Add more cheese
