In the composition stage of the main items, 87items were composed by deleting 19 items and adding 1 item when the content validity index value was satisfiedat a rate of 70-80% depending on the stage. The results are as follows: For the development of the sensoryevaluation tool, a total of 87 items were developed: 45 items related to general learning activity; 17 related to art,music, and physical activity; and 25 related to meal and break-time activities.
