- The child has learned about the process of digestion, specifically how the body breaks down food into smaller particles.
- The child has learned about the importance of chewing food properly before swallowing.
- The child has learned that toast is made from bread, which is a type of food made from grains.
One creative way to continue developing the child's understanding of digestion is to explore other types of food and how they are digested. You can have discussions with the child about different types of food and ask them to think about how their body would break down and absorb the nutrients from those foods.
