I remember going to the zoo in Albuquerque and the zookeeper told us how the apes loved to be challenged in their eating. It was to simulate "life in the wild" or something. They would freeze a long carrot in a bowl of water so the ape had to work hard to find that carrot. They would place food in high places or at then end of a long tube and they would figure out a way to get the food in their mouth.
It's really not that much different with a 1 year old.
Abby was much happier eating mac n cheese off a giant spatula than I could have ever supposed.
Here are the pics to prove it.
