Nutrition Activities
Nutrition Activities
Activities should emphasise the Dietary Guidelines and Food Guide Pyramid. Naming foods is just one kind of food and nutrition activity. A book about vegetables could include activities namingvegetables (Meals & Snacks), touring a vegetable garden to see what grows above and below the ground (Where Food Comes From), using picture lists to shop for vegetables (Food Shopping), washing dirt off vegetables (Food Safety), defining safe food preparation(Science Experiments) (Kitchen Safety), and doing a physical activity challenge (Health and Physical Activity). Encourage children to touch, taste, and smell foods prepared in a variety of ways.
