Eat Drink Mississippi|April/May 2020
With a lot of parents facing the challenge of keeping housebound kids happy and healthy, this is the perfect time to teach kids the basics of nutrition and eating right.
Now's the Time to Teach At-Home Nutrition

Consider these simple suggestions from Melanie Marcus, MA, RD, health, and nutrition communications manager for Dole Food Company.

• Healthy Snack Time Taste Tests – Sometimes it feels like kids can snack all day long on easy-to-grab crackers, chips, or cookies. Next time they reach into the snack pantry, try incorporating a taste test or food critic activity to encourage something different and more nutritious.

• Purposeful Playtime – Many households have a play kitchen or some kind of play food. Use this as an opportunity to act out how to create a healthy kitchen with activities like making salad, setting the table, peeling bananas, and washing dishes. This can help young children become more independent, learn what to expect and grow into little helpers at family mealtime.
