Everyday we hear about obesity in the news and the health issues that it causes. Let’s help our children learn about nutrition with fun and meaningful activities that introduce health and wellness concepts.
Start out by using the new food pyramid for personalized nutrition needs based on your child’s age, gender, and physical activity. Then, choose foods according to the USDA’s MyPyramid to practice good hygiene and healthy food choices.
Encourage your children to use fun songs (sipping cider through a straw to “Apples and Bananas”) or other hands-on activites like board games, word searches, photographic food cards, and matching activities to help them learn about and appreciate the variety of fabulous foods that we enjoy every day, while exploring nutrition.
