HOW TO DO IT

    • Grain: Whole grain crackers
    • Fruit: 1 Box of NESTLÉ JUICY JUICE
    • Vegetable: Carrot sticks
    • Meat: Chicken leg or chicken tenders

  • Discuss each of the food groups as you serve this to your child it's a fun and educational lunch!

FOLLOW UP FUN
  • Label envelopes or small containers with the name of each of the 6 food groups. Have your child think of several foods that belong to each group and write them on small pieces of paper. Then, place them in their respective envelopes.

  • When it's lunchtime, have your child draw one item from each food group container.

  • This continues to reinforce healthy eating and keeps your child involved in the process.
