Baths - I never used bubble baths, as the solutions irritated my daughter and would sometimes lead to yeast infections. A couple of drops of food coloring, or a couple of drops of peppermint oil was a huge hit.
Vegetables - Creativity. I would make veggie wagons...two carrot sticks for axles, add cucumber slices for wheels. Cover with a piece of cheese, cracker or toast, and add another carrot stick fort he 'handle"
Give ordinary food interesting names. Apple slices were 'monster claws'. Broccoli was brocco-trees. Homemade pizza on buns was (insert child's favorite TV show here) pizza. Fruit juce was 'witches brew', etc.
My favorite was a trick my sister did. She'd ask the kids if the wanted a cheese donut. Fascinated, they all clamored for one. She then took pieces of processed cheese, bit a hole in each one and handed them out.
