“Veggie Hero”
Nutrition Education Program for Childcare Centres
Dear Educators and Childcare Chefs &Cooks,
We all understand the struggle of encouraging children to embrace vegetables. It's a common challenge, but it's one with a delicious solution! The Veggie Hero project is designed to transform your children's relationship with vegetables, making mealtimes more enjoyable and nutritious for everyone.
Here's how it works:
Captivating Characters: A new "Veggie Hero" takes centre stage each week. Children will discover each vegetable's unique qualities and superpowers through colourful illustrations and engaging activities.
Hands-On Exploration: Our project provides a variety of activities that allow children to explore vegetables through all their senses. They'll develop a deeper appreciation for these nutritional powerhouses, from tasting to touching.
School-Home Connection: We believe in a holistic approach. Veggie Heroes encourages conversations about healthy eating at school and home, reinforcing positive messages and ensuring consistent learning.
The results?
Increased Vegetable Consumption: Children who participate in Veggie Heroes are more likely to try and enjoy a wider variety of vegetables.
Happier Mealtimes: Say goodbye to picky eating and food battles. Veggie Heroes makes mealtimes fun and stress-free.
Reduced Food Waste: As children develop a love for vegetables, less food ends up in the trash.
Veggie Heroes is more than just a project; it's a journey towards a healthier and happier future. Join us and become a Veggie Hero Champion in your centre!
