So in recent days, I dug out this food and education picture book at home and read it with my son. After reading these picture books, I found that the classification and nutrition of food gradually formed in his mind. Every time I eat, I will take the initiative to ask me, "Mom, what is the food in the food kingdom?"
"It is the food of the Red Food Kingdom."
The son went on to say, "Eating eggs will make me stronger."
"Yes, then let's eat the eggs and make ourselves stronger."
Next, I will share this set of picture books with you.
There are five picture books in this book: Color Genie in the Food Kingdom, Food that Makes Me Stronger, Food that keeps me from getting sick, Food that Makes Me Stronger, and The Secret of Delicious Food.
In the picture book, four elves, red, yellow, green and white, go to the gourmet kingdom. Red elves represent meat, eggs and milk (protein), green elves represent vegetables and fruits (vitamins), yellow elves represent staple foods such as rice and flour (carbohydrates), and white elves represent seasonings such as salt and monosodium glutamate. These four food elves took us into a wonderful journey of food kingdom.
This set of picture books brings food education to children from four aspects:
Diet education 1: form good habits from the dinner table.
We often see some parents chasing their children to feed them, but this is not the case at our dinner table. The dining table is also an important place for family education.
Food education 2: Is full equal to eating well?
Having a full stomach does not mean eating well. In our body, only four kinds of spirits are present, and our body can be healthy!
Shi Yu Sang: Eating is a happy thing.
Food elves take children back to the primitive nature, understand the growth process of food, be curious about food, and be grateful for the kindness of nature.
Diet education 4: Be responsible for your body and health.
One of the contents in the picture book is to test whether the food is healthy. An important criterion is to observe the stool and let the children know about the intake, digestion, absorption and excretion of food. This process teaches children to be responsible for their own body and health.
How to choose food in the critical period of children's growth?
How to achieve a balanced diet?
Then read this picture book with your child!
