HEALTHY BODIES

I LIKE TO TALK ABOUT HEALTHY CHOICES FOR OUR BODIES AT THIS TIME OF YEAR. MOST CHILDREN HAVE BAGS FULL OF CANDY WAITING FOR THEM AT HOME, AND WE ARE HEADED INTO THE SEASON OF COOKIES, CAKES, AND MORE CANDY.

THIS IS A FUN ACTIVITY I DID WITH MY TWO AND THREE YEAR OLDS.

AFTER TALKING ABOUT HEALTHY FOODS, I PLAY A GAME WITH THE CHILDREN. I PRINT TWO SETS OF SEVERAL PICTURES OUT OF HEALTHY FOODS TO PLAY MATCHING WITH.

THEN, I HAVE SMALLER VERSIONS OF THE SAME FOODS WE JUST TALKED ABOUT. THE CHILDREN CUT THEM OUT AND GLUE THEM ONTO A CONSTRUCTION PAPER BODY. THUS, PUTTING HEALTHY FOOD INTO OUR BODIES.:)

YOU CAN EXTEND THIS ACTIVITY BY ALSO HAVING UNHEALTHY FOOD PHOTOS PRINTED OUT. THE CHILDREN CAN CHOOSE WHICH FOODS TO PUT INTO THEIR BODIES.
