These patterns can also be used in educating young children about food. Many kids are picky when they are young and don’t like to try new things. Introducing foods to them in the form of crocheted characters that they can play with and interact with is one terrific option for parents, caregivers, and educators. Some of these patterns have cute faces added on which will appeal to that age group (and to all of us) Who says you can’t play with your food?
