Colorful Ice Cream Creation: Let’s make our own pretend rainbow ice cream! Gather some colored paper or playdough in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Ask the children to create their own ice cream cones using these colors. Encourage them to think about what flavors each color could represent. Afterward, discuss which fruits or veggies could match those colors. For example, red could be strawberry ice cream or a red apple.
Fruit and Veggie Taste Test: Organize a simple taste test with a variety of fruits and veggies. Provide small pieces of apples, bananas, carrots, and broccoli. Let the children taste each one and describe the flavors and textures. Ask them which ones they like best and why. Discuss how these foods help us grow strong and healthy, just like the vitamins in ice cream help make it taste good!
Healthy Plate Drawing: Give each child a paper plate and some crayons or markers. Ask them to draw a meal that includes both a sweet treat like ice cream and some healthy fruits and veggies. Encourage them to use lots of colors and to think about how they can balance treats with healthy foods. Afterward, have a show-and-tell where each child explains their drawing and the choices they made.
