Breakfast Nutella sandwich
Nutella is either exactly right or entirely wrong today: sticky, crispy, sweet and with a smell that takes over the kitchen. The visual support shows the sandwich as it actually looks, so the child can check it against today's mood before the first bite.

About this visual support
A Nutella sandwich is a clear sensory combination: the spread clings to the palate, the bread offers a dry crunch and the chocolate scent leans forward the moment the jar opens. For a child who is sensitive to textures, that exact mix can be perfect one morning and impossible the next.
With the visual support, the decision doesn't have to happen mid-spread. The child sees the sandwich before it's made and can signal yes or pick something else before the knife has gone into the jar. That avoids both waste and the conflict of an uneaten, already-buttered slice.
A concrete tip: place the Nutella sandwich card next to one or two alternative breakfast cards on the table, not in a closed sequence. When the child points, they're pointing at what today's mood can handle. In the Routined app you can save several breakfast options and let the child choose from a visual menu each morning.
