What´s in my favorite food?
All the children can bring their favorite food from
home. The food bring in will stimulate a discussion,
what is the food made of and where should it be
classified? In this way, the children get to know food
better and get a feeling for which food is healthy and
which is less, what can be eaten frequently and which
food should be eaten less often. At the same time, it
will help the children to get to know different types of
food, including typical food. During a cooking activity,
the children can also categorize the ingredients and
then enjoy eating the food together. Alternatively, the
Food Pyramid can also be used with food made of
plastic or wood (e.g. Article Number 540 046 vege-
table assortment and Article Number 540 048 fruit
assortment) as well as with self-designed cards.
