Good nutrition plays a major role in building a healthy body and immunity in children. Parents play a major role in promoting healthy eating. One of the best ways for parents to encourage healthy eating habits in their children is by being a good role model. We bring to you a nutritional food theme for preschooler kids to inculcate good and healthy eating habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Monday Activity – Story about the Hungry Caterpillar: <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Read the story aloud to your little one. Talk to them about how healthy the caterpillar grew when eating healthy (Strawberries, Plums, Oranges, Apples, Pears) and how the caterpillar eats his way through cherry pie and sausage until he is large and has an upset stomach. Are those kinds of things healthy for a butterfly? Are they healthy for us to eat?<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Tuesday Activity – Teaching them about Food pyramid <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The food pyramid teaches children about the importance of a healthy meal from the basic five food groups.
