How
do you teach a child to enjoy eating fresh fruits and vegetables
without using tricks? By far, the best way is by
making healthy snacks so interesting and attractive that children
just can't wait to eat them. That's what these recipes have
been proven to do, with an audience of well over 1000 people
who include children, adult helpers and adult professional.
Ages of children making the snacks? All of the snacks
have been approved by kids, by parents, by nutritionists and
they meet the Child and Adult Food Care Program requirements
for snacks for 3-5 year olds. For a child between six and
twelve years of age, eating two snacks meets the snack requirements.
What subjects are covered? Kitchen safety... Teamwork
and teamwork tasks.. USDA Food Pyramid... Food substitutions...

Foods"... Supplies needed.... "Snack-tivities" page that includes:
