Making Fruits and Vegetables Fun For Kids

Making mealtime playful can mean healthier eating for kids! Here are some creative ways to build more fruits and vegetables into your child's daily diet...Top a bowl of cereal with a smiley face: banana slices for eyes, raisins for nose and a peach or apple slice for the mouth. Make frozen fruit kebabs using pineapple pieces, bananas, grapes and berries. Take kids food shopping. Each week, let them pick out a new fruit and vegetable to try. Try fruit smoothies or frappes for a quick healthy breakfast, or afternoon snack. Keep lots of fresh fruits and veggies available, in an easily accessible place. And when they've been good, allow them a little treat.
