We all want our kids to eat the best that they can. We also know that there is tremendous pressure and conditioning pulling our kid's away from fruits and vegetables to processed, packaged food. These foods have a certain "fun" quotient which an apple or a banana really can't live up to. What to do? Make eating them fun. Children should eat all the colors of the rainbow every day. Be creative and come up with a way to make the foods fun. Here are some ideas.

Eating a Rainbow
Once a week, I allow the kids to make their own dinner. The rules are that they must use only fruits and vegetables, all colors of the rainbow, and they must eat what they make. I purchased these adorable little knives so they can cut the food without hurting themselves.


Cooking Show
Make a video of your child cooking a dish, like a cooking shows on TV. Let them describe what they are making, show all the ingredients, and describe step-by-step, the recipe. Of course, make sure to show off the results!

Let our viewers know if you have any ideas on how to make food fun!
