I don't know if this is a boy-thing or what, but both my boys absolutely LOVED pulling food off a sword to eat it - does it make it more edible...? Maybe so!
Doesn't hurt to try with picky preschoolers, anyway!

Charlie had fruit, cheese and ham on his today, for lunch, with soup. Just thread it on a skewer you think your kiddo can handle...If you don't want to use metal, you can buy wooden skewers, or just use toothpicks.
Another day we may try cheese, olives, mushrooms, possibly broccoli, green or red pepper and some dip...The possibilities are up to you! Pasta might even work - rotini skewered sideways, or seashells, or farfalle (butterflies)... :)
(Never mind that giant egg/bruise on his head...He got that when he and Sam were wrestling...Charlie + hanging entire bodyweight from the back of big brother's shirt so shirt chokes big brother = getting slammed against the couch ottoman. Probably deservedly so... :rant: )
