Water should be the first choice when kids need a drink. It keeps them hydrated without containing any unnecessary sugar or calories. But how can you make drinking water more fun? Getting your kids a cool straw that they can only use for drinking water might be the answer.
A drinking straw your child will be excited to use
It’s important to keep your kids hydrated throughout the day, but getting them to drink water can sometimes be a challenge. Here’s a suggestion for a simple way to make drinking water more appealing. Get your kids to help make fruity ice cubes to use in their glass of water, to give it a fresh, fruity kick.
Ice cube tray
Fresh fruit (apple, pineapple, strawberries, mango, grapes, watermelon – whatever fruit you have available)
Water
How can you encourage your kids to enjoy trying different foods? The Explorer Card could help get them more excited about discovering something new. Each time your child tries a new fruit or vegetable you give them a stamp. Once they get 10 stamps for exploring ten new foods, you can give them a big reward like spending some time as a family doing an activity of their choice.
We want to encourage children to eat more healthily by letting them choose and serve themselves. From picking the right kinds of foods that contain the correct balance of nutrients, to putting the right amount on the plate. Nestlé for Healthier Kids is helping parents by suggesting useful and fun ideas on how to ensure correct portion sizes for their kids.

JOIN USIt’s great to encourage kids to eat plenty of fruit and vegetables, but it’s not always straightforward. Bringing a bit of fun to mealtimes as a reward for eating more of these foods could help. How about using a fun placemat during dinner which can then be folded into different shapes for them to play with once they’ve finished eating?
We can all use a little extra motivation when it comes to getting active. Something as simple as leaving your kid’s running shoes by their bed could help remind them to get moving as soon as they wake up. Why not start by using our fun shoe mat? There’s no reason why the whole family can’t join in!
To encourage kids to move more, it helps to give them fun activities they can do even when they’re indoors. Why not try these fun dance routines to help your kids stay active any time and no matter what the weather?
