As is well known, mealtime has a very important symbolic and relational value in the lives of each one of us,

adults and children, as well as in a community, be it infant-toddler center or preschool, where children have

the opportunity to experience this moment with other children.

They learn how to feed themselves, but also and above all their palate is educated in relation to the ways in

to support intentional exchanges and encourage self-sufficiency in a setting that is warm and responsive,

where the cultural meaning and the cognitive and emotional potential of lunchtime are made explicit

point and unusual angles of reflection.

When hung very low, the plant holder defines an area
