Fun for little ones

Fun for little ones

Fresh root ginger is fascinating for little hands to hold + explore – look at all those knobbly bits, like the bark on a tree! Give a piece to your baby to hold, + cut off one end so that you can both have a good sniff, too – reeeally smelly!

Top tip

Scale it down. Use a hand blender or fork mash for little ones from 10 months.
