Food Guide or Food Group Pyramid

Teaching about nutrition, exercise and food eating has never been so mush fun!

Food Guide or Food Group Pyramid Set includes:

- 90 felt figures

- the New Food Guide Pyramid

- 20 activities and lessons

- additional resources

The Food Guide or Food Group Pyramid is now available in a large size which measures about 35 1/2 by 45inches or a small size which measures about 26 1/2 inches by 33 1/2 inches. Additional resources include play ideas, related nursery rhymes and more.

Exercise and good nutrition are important parts of a healthy lifestyle. The kids in the Food Guide or Food Group Pyramid are ready to get up, get out, and play. With you and your child to lead the way, you will learn about the importance of exercise and variety, balance, and moderation in the foods we eat.

Discuss healthy alternatives to sugary snacks. For instance, do you know what "nature's candy" is? Do you know how many carrots you would have to eat to equal the fat you get from just having 1 chocolate chip cookie?

With the Food Guide or Food Group Pyramid you can also discover the proper setting of a table. Use this to also talk about table manners. Then you can choose a meal and talk about how healthy or not healthy it is. The details and colors of the foods are so great and real-to-life it's going to get your taste buds tingling.

You can also use the Food Guide or Food Group Pyramid to talk about where foods come from. What kinds of foods grow on trees? How about on bushes? On a vine? You'll be amazed at all you can learn!

This set goes great on our medium felt board. Be sure to come take a look if you need something to display the Food Guide or Food Group Pyramid on something.

The Food Guide or Food Group Pyramid is specifically suited to kids ages 6 and up. I also recommend this set to dietitians, nutritionists, daycares and preschools, WIC workers, and infant and childhood nutrition specialists.
