Bright colored foods make meals more fun. Add orange and purple fruits and vegetables to make the table more colorful.
Tip of the Day 5
All forms of fruit count-- fresh, frozen, canned, dried or 100% juice. They make easy, healthy snacks too!
Kids learn from their parents. If you eat fruits and veggies, so will they.
Tip of the Day 11
Ask your child to move and sound like an animal. Take pictures.
Use low-fat milk instead of whole. It's better for your child and tastes good too
Tip of the Day 4
For a healthy snack, add low-fat cheese to whole-grain crackers. A serving of cheese is 1 ounce: about the size of two dominos. Six medium-size crackers are one serving.

Make your own Twister game using throw rugs or hand towels on the floor.
Tip of the Day 10
For indoor play, ask your child to make a shape with their body: round, flat, tall etc.
