Taste Test

Dip a carrot stick in three sauces and describe each flavor — salty, sweet, or spicy.

Category: World Knowledge · Duration: ~7 min

Materials

• carrot sticks or crackers
• 3 sauces or seasonings

1. Set out three small dishes: something salty (soy sauce), something sweet (ketchup or honey), and something tangy or mild-spicy (mustard or salsa). 2. Give your little one a carrot stick or cracker for dipping. 3. Try each one. Ask: "What does your tongue say? Is it salty? Sweet? Spicy? Sour?" 4. Let them pick a favorite. Talk about how different countries use different flavors. 5. No pressure to like them all — making a yucky face is a totally valid review.
