Ideas to Celebrate Rainbow Eating!

posted by: Kia

The biggest reward of eating a rainbow is a healthy body! Of course for kids, having a weekly or monthly celebration or a healthy reward is something more tangible that they can work towards. The way it works in our house is, if our daughter eats a rainbow for 6 days in a row, she then gets to choose a fun activity for the family to do together on the 7th day.

Here are some ideas we’d like to share with you:
‘¢ picnic at a park
‘¢ family bike ride
‘¢ going for a hike
‘¢ making a favorite meal
‘¢ mini golf, swimming, bowling
‘¢ family board game night
‘¢ watching a movie together
‘¢ going out for a meal at a favorite restaurant
‘¢ hide and seek
‘¢ playing tag
‘¢ pillow fight :)
‘¢ doing a fun craft together
‘¢ visiting a zoo or other fun attraction
‘¢ just making time to be together as a family

Celebrating your child’s healthy eating can also be a good way of spending quality time together as a family. If you can incorporate physical activities into your celebration then their bodies are also going to benefit from the healthy exercise which helps to instill yet another important part of healthy living!

We would love to hear about the ways you celebrate eating a rainbow at your house so feel free to add your comments to this post!

Happy Healthy Eating!
