Lesson 3Part 1: Nutrition
Kids Cooking Activities Ebooks
 If you are just joining kids
cooking lessons I recommend doing Lesson
8
from the assistant chef lessons along with today's lesson. We had a
great lesson about nutrition and going on a shopping trip in the
previous age group.
If you have done this
before please skip ahead to Part 2.
If
you don't have a MyPyramid chart hanging in your kitchen, print off a
MyPyramid kid's poster pdf version
here....
Part 2: Food
Diary
Take a look at the MyPyramid chart you printed off. Point out the
fruits and vegetables. Talk about how many different kinds there are to
choose from and why we need them.
You've heard of 5
a day, right?! But why do we need to have 5 servings of fruits and
vegetables a day?
Not only does eating healthy
fruits and vegetables increase your health, they are packed with
vitamins and minerals our bodies need. They are also a natural source
of
energy. Perhaps that is why they are called super foods.
Visit our food
facts pages
where you will find information such as how each food grows, when it is
in season, and other facts on a variety of fruits and vegetables.
Your Chef in Training is going to keep a fruit and vegetable diary this
week. Each day have them write or draw a picture of what fruits and
vegetables they have eaten.
Download and print off the diary page here.
You can even make this into a family affair. Have
every family member (moms and dads too) keep a diary and at the end of
the week see how everyone did. Remember to try to eat 5-9 servings of super-foods
a day.
