Did you know that different foods have different colors and help us in different ways? Vegetables, fruits, grains, and proteins are all important. They help us grow, give us energy, and keep us healthy. Eating a rainbow of foods is fun and good for us!

Food Rainbow Hunt: Next time you go grocery shopping with your family, look for foods of different colors. Can you find a red apple, a green cucumber, or a yellow banana? Try to find at least one food for each color of the rainbow. Talk about how each food might help your body, just like the article says!
Shape Detective in the Sandbox: When you’re playing in the sandbox, become a shape detective! Look for different shapes like circles, squares, and triangles in your sandcastles. Can you make a sandcastle using at least three different shapes? Share your creation with a friend and see if they can spot the shapes too.
Music and Movement: Gather some friends and make your own band using things you find around the house. You can use pots and pans as drums or shake a container filled with rice as a maraca. Play your instruments together and see what kind of music you can create. How does it feel to make music as a team?
