Action Idea
Try one of HKC's monthly action ideas, generally targeting K-5th grades. Ideas are taken from one of the HKC teacher-youth leader activity idea booklets or an idea submitted by a school or youth program. Most are appropriate for the classroom, after school programs, or anywhere kids are found!
In addition, we’re excited HKC is implementing a Kansas grant to help libraries strengthen the link between reading, healthy eating and physical activity for preschoolers! So each month, also check for a preschool activity idea and book suggestion, like the one below!
Reading, Smart Eating, Moving...Balance My Day Pre-Schoolers Learn about Fruits & Veggies - Every Day the Tasty Way
Read a book like, Veggie Soup
by Dorothy Donohue,
Winslow Press 2000
Talk with preschoolers about the varied and interesting colors that fruits and veggies provide. Explain that by eating a variety of colors for their fruit and veggie choices each day that they will get the fiber, vitamins and minerals they need.
