An apparatus and method for simulating the feeding of a variety of food types to a child's baby doll is disclosed. The apparatus includes a spoon and a food container. The food container is segmented into three compartments, each of which contains a different simulated food type. Within each compartment is a cam assembly for interaction with a cam follower that is disposed within a spindle that is rotatably mounted within the bowl of the spoon. The outer surface of the spindle is configured to also represent food, where the types of food represented on the spindle in the bowl of the spoon are the same food types that are simulated in the food container. When a child inserts the spoon into the food container, if the food displayed in the bowl of the spoon is not the same food type as that into which the spoon is inserted, the cam follower in the spindle interacts with the cam in the food container to rotate the spindle such that upon extraction of the spoon from the food container, the bowl of the spoon now appears to contain within it the same type of food as that into which it was inserted.
