  Nutrition Activities in the Classroom
By incorporating
nutrition education each day, teachers and caregivers can help
children develop healthy eating habits. Nutrition education not
only includes developmentally appropriate food preparation
activities, but also decision making skills and foods;
family-style meal service; cultural and religious preferences;
and helping the "picky" eater. Discuss safety issues such as
choking prevention, food allergies, and food sanitation.
Demonstrate ways to incorporate nutrition education through
learning centers and other activities.
