Nutrition Activities for Kids

Teaching preschoolers healthy eating can be challenging. Their little taste buds are drawn to sweet treats and salty, crispy foods (aren’t all ours?), so it’s not always easy to influence them to choose healthy eating choices. Good thing preschoolers aren’t always in charge, right?

Preschool activities that support healthy eating are an important part of your Food & Nutrition theme preschool lesson plans. It’s important to keep things playful using games and activities to teach kids that healthy eating can be fun and enjoyable.

Nutrition Week for Kids

Every Kid Healthy™ Week is an annual celebration of school health and wellness achievements. It takes place during the last full week of April and every day shines a spotlight on improving the health and wellness of kids. It’s a great time of year to discuss fruits and vegetables and learning what foods are “sometimes” foods.

Fun nutrition-themed printables, such as emergent readers or printable math and literacy centers, make the job even easier.

These resources not only reinforce the theme but also enhance children’s language skills and basic mathematical concepts. What’s more, they create a fun and interactive learning environment that can trigger children’s curiosity and thirst for knowledge.
