Print This Craft

Getting kids, especially preschoolers, interested in healthy foods is easier when they can associate it with a fun activity like this Cut and Paste Healthy Food Craft. They will proudly display their knowledge to their parents by pointing out the healthy food options in the grocery store and at home. Putting that knowledge to use by trying those options is the next natural step and they are on their way to a healthier diet.
