Struggling to get your kids to eat their veggies? How
about making their meal something fun? Meals With Kids is the pet project of
Maor Bar, a Bezalel graduate of the Visual Communication department. Bar manages
his own interactive studio that makes games and mobile apps for major brands in
Israel and abroad. The blog began as a side project because of his oldest son,
Yatir, who is a very picky eater. “I felt like meals became a task for my wife, Shelly, and I. But instead of arguing with him, I decided to make it fun. I asked him what he would like to eat, and presented it in an exciting fashion like a pirate ship or a roaring dinosaur. With each time I was able to offer him new types of food – vegetables, cheeses, etc. – that he wouldn’t touch before,” Bar tells NoCamels.
At first Bar uploaded pictures to his Facebook page,
and when hearing from friends that it worked with their children as well he
decided to begin the blog to help parents he didn’t personally know. A Meals
With Kids Facebook page has also garnered a community of parents who even post
their own work. Continue reading.
