Getting kids to eat their fruits and veggies takes a combination of a lot of things! I think if you create a culture in your home where fruits and vegetables are fun and enjoyable it helps to reinforce the idea that produce is our friend! I think play time is a great time to include fruits and veggies! In my opinion play is practice for life! Through play kids can learn to appreciate fruits and vegetables and connect the fact that they are part of making healthy choices for themselves! So... ....

We are once again thrilled to have another guest blog post from Joy M. Hawk….enjoy!!!
I think we all agree that in an ideal world, our children will eat their rainbow of fruits and vegetables on a daily basis, and eat a lots of whole foods and not a lot of sugar or processed stuff. Super. Now is that reality? How does a busy parent achieve such utopia without giving themselves an ulcer?
Honestly, it does take some work. It takes setting a good example, and,... ....

Keep your kids happy, fit, healthy, and strong by presenting lots of variety in their meals.
Young kids usually love to help out in the kitchen, and it is a great way to get them to try some new foods also.... ....
