Flavor
In general, children prefer mildly seasoned foods. One rule of thumb is to use only half as much salt as noted in a recipe. Whenever possible, enhance the natural flavor of the food. This means that only small amounts of sugar and spices should be added.
Color
Children enjoy color in their meals. If the foods you are serving are not very colorful, add color to one or more of the foods. For example, tint the applesauce pink. For St. Patrick's Day, you might color vanilla pudding green.
Temperature
Variety in the temperature of foods served can be appealing, too. For snack, offer a cold glass of milk with a room-temperature food, such as crackers. At mealtime, serve a cold fruit or pudding with a warm casserole. For safety reasons, be sure to serve each food at its proper temperature. Keep in mind, however, children are more sensitive to temperature extremes than adults.
