Did I Eat My Colors Today?

This cooking (snack preparation) and nutrition education program introduces young children to a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables in a rainbow of colors. Children track their daily progress by color and report home every day. At home they transfer “colors” eaten at school to our  “Did I Eat My Colors Today?” magnet tool to see which colors they are missing to complete the spectrum daily.

 

The program is structured to support all five pre-school learning domains: cognitive, language, motor skills, social/emotional, and adoptive. 

Key Components: Daily EASY/QUICK snack recipe strategies utilizing 2 or more colored fresh fruits and vegetables assembled and tracked at home using wipe-off refrigerator magnet.

Note for CACFP program participants: A joint project with Share Our Strength resulted in our developing 30 delicious meal strategies for this age group using fresh ingredients that are all credited for CACFP breakfast, lunch/supper and snack!  Contact us to learn more!
