Eat a Rainbow of Fruits and Vegetables!

Encourage your child to eat a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables every day. This will help them get the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants they need to grow and stay healthy.

Make it fun by letting them choose their favorite fruits and vegetables at the grocery store or farmers market. You can also try incorporating them into meals and snacks in creative ways, like adding berries to yogurt or making a veggie pizza and letting them design their own. They'll definitely want to eat their own creation and brag about how tasty it is!

Skewers are another fun way to get in those fruits and veggies. Let your child (with your assistance, if needed) grab a toothpick/skewer and create their own tower of tastiness.

If children feel they are a part of the process from start to finish, they may feel more inclined to participate and follow through.
