Fun With Food!

Food Group Feast!!!

We've been learning all about the food pyramid the past two weeks. We had a healthy snack everyday last week and discussed which food groups were represented. On Monday, we had a Frozen banana dipped in yogurt and rolled in sprinkles! Yum:) (fruit, dairy, & sweets groups)

On Tuesday, we had carrots and dip. (vegetable and oil groups)

On Wednesday, we had ants on a log! (vegetable, protein, and fruit groups)

On Thursday, we had painted toast! (dairy & grain groups) You take bread and milk. Put food color in the milk and paint pictures on the bread. Then toast it!

On Friday, we made milkshakes!! Double yum:) (dairy) (forgot to take a picture!)

We also had a speaker from Mary Rutan Hospital come and talk to us about nutrition. We learned a lot from her!

We also did some fun activites. Like make a healthy meal on a plate using grocery adds.

But the best activity of all was making our Food Group Feast. We made vegetable soup with beef, fruit salad with marshmallows, and ate bread with homemade butter. We made the butter by shaking whipping cream in baby food jars until it turned into butter. It was good, but it took forever!

Shaking buttter!

Have a great Thanksgiving!!!
