Kids learn from their parents. If you eat fruits and veggies, so will they.
Tip of the Day 2
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!
Tip of the Day 11
Ask your child to move and sound like an animal. Take pictures.
Tip of the Day 8
Make your own Twister game using throw rugs or hand towels on the floor.
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.
Tip of the Day 10
For indoor play, ask your child to make a shape with their body: round, flat, tall etc.
Tip of the Day 9
Play “Simon Says.” Let your kids tell you what to do.
Tip of the Day 3
Start small. This week, provide a healthy after-school snack like an apple instead of one high in sugar or fat.
