Sometimes children can’t avoid sitting still – like in the car on the way to school or to visit family. Often we give kids snacks to keep them entertained at these times, but they’re not always necessary. Instead, why not use a game to keep them busy?
List of objects, pens or pencils
It’s not unusual for kids to get into the habit of snacking between meals. Why not give them a fun game to keep their hands busy during those times they might want to snack?
Plastic bottle or other plastic container with a tight lid
Sand or small pebbles
Small items that fit into the bottle which can be the “treasure”
Planting seeds and watching them grow is a great way to get kids interested in food. It’s even better when they can eat what they’ve grown. If you keep the type of seeds a mystery, the only way they’ll find out what they’ve got is by planting them. Taking care of the plant can help them understand where their fruit and vegetables come from and encourage them to enjoy eating fruit and veg more.
Here’s a fun way to not only get kids excited about vitamin-filled fruit, but also to get them thinking about breakfast time. We have created templates that you can use to transform oranges and other fruit into wrestlers which your kids can juice-wrestle to squeeze out all the juice!
