Very berry whole-wheat bread pudding Make a game of food labels Have kids measure out what they think is a serving and compare it to what the label says. Plant something together Kids may be more likely to try kale or collards if they planted the seeds and watched them grow. Create a sports zone Keep balls, jump ropes and other fun gear in one go-to location. Visit the farmers market Encourage kids to pick out a new fruit or veggie to take home and try. Make a splash that’s not soda Flavor water with fresh berries or orange slices. Stock a snack drawer Older kids can help themselves to whole-grain crackers, unsalted nuts, and dried or fresh fruit.
