Pink Lemonade Recipe and the Seven Silly Eaters Book

Seven Silly Eaters is one of my favorite books to use with cooking activities because it introduces many different foods and encourages conversations about trying new things. The story can also lead to a discussion about healthy eating habits and how important it is to enjoy a variety of foods instead of eating only one favorite food all the time.

Check this book out from your local library or add it to your classroom or homeschool collection. After reading the story, make a fun pink lemonade recipe together.
