In an effort to help my four year old understand our new way of eating I made this food pyramid to hang on our kitchen wall. It's a simpler version of
this one at
Mark's Daily Apple. Unlike the original mine includes (crudely draw) pictures since my son is still unable to read. Hopefully this will help him understand that while eating apples with Sunbutter

is a good snack, eating that for every meal is not so good.

This is a fantastic idea! My kids are still too little to understand that they eat any differently from other kids, but when they're older, we might try this too. Just curious - do your kids attend any outside-the-home events where they are offered snacks? That's my biggest challenge - should I let the sweet nursery worker at church offer my kids goldfish crackers, or bring in my own snack and risk offending?
ReplyDeleteDanielle, I would totally bring in your own snack. As long as you explain it to the sweet nursery worker they should understand.
ReplyDeleteI've been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever before.
