For younger children, read the clues, draw pictures, or make simple clues to avoid frustration.
Let your child set the menu with a Restaurant at Home: Cook your child’s favorite meal or order from their favorite restaurant, design, print, and decorate menus, decorate the table with candles, a centerpiece, and fancy dishes. Siblings can act as wait staff to give the experience a more authentic feel.
