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.
