Children\u2019s food preferences depend on food familiarity and liking, which research shows can be increased by repeated tasting opportunities. Studies have shown that boosting foods\u2019 visual familiarity before children taste them (e.g. by looking at picture books) further increases their willingness to taste, liking and intake of targeted foods. This project will use the \u00a0FoodUnfolded\u2122 portal as a platform to communicate to parents the benefits of familiarising pre-schoolers with vegetables before offering them at mealtimes. The project involves three main activities:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Creation of interactive \u2018See &amp; Eat\u2019 e-books about vegetables, available to download through FoodUnfolded\u2122;<\/li>\n<li>Evaluation of outcomes of using e-books on children\u2019s liking and intake of targeted foods;<\/li>\n<li>Creation of online resource for parents, with guidance on using e-books to introduce vegetables.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Check out our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seeandeat.org\">See &amp; Eat Resource Pages<\/a> for access to Vegetable ebooks and activities<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Schools Network project<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-322\" src=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/kids-food-choices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2020\/10\/MicrosoftTeams-image-300x102.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/kids-food-choices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2020\/10\/MicrosoftTeams-image-300x102.png 300w, https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/kids-food-choices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2020\/10\/MicrosoftTeams-image.png 349w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This project developed a network that links EIT Food with existing national schools programs in Europe and related stakeholders, ultimately to promote the exchange of ideas and information, ensuring effective translation of findings.
