LANGUAGE TIME
Talk about the texture… you have such various textures occurring in this recipe. A banana is soft, but the oats are hard. What are other things you eat that can be hard or soft? During each meal that day, see if you can label the items on your plate as being hard or soft. This can be a great way to work on descriptive words, and to look at what you eat from a different angle.
