Hints for Parents

• Have fruits and veggies washed, cut and separated in single serving packages.
• Display fruits in bowls on table/counter for easy access.
• Put ‘unhealthy’ food in the back of the fridge OR don’t buy at all.
• Give a fun/silly name to the healthy snack: Scooby snack, shark bites, monster mash, etc.
• Lead by being a good example – eat your veggies.
• Pick out a new fruit/veggie to try together.
• Make fun food shapes: face on a plate, animal, spell out their name, cookie cutter shapes, etc.
• Take a walk together after dinner – good for digestion.
• K.I.S.S. : Keep It Simple Silly – use easy recipes.
• Shop healthy=eat healthy – if it’s not in the house, you won’t eat it.
