Healthy Eaters

We just got home from a preschool field trip at Albertsons. 

To my teacher friends: Albertsons does a free healthy living tour for Preschool thru 4th grade classes. 

We learned about "Always Foods" and "Sometimes Foods" and we sampled something from every food group and talked about how they help us be healthy. At the end each kiddo got a reusable tote bag filled with bananas and water bottles, granola bars and coupons for mom :) And best of all a Healthy Kids Club card which lets them get a free apple or banana every time they got to Albertsons! It was our best field trip all year (in my opinion)!

Pineapple=Always Food

Talking about the colors of produce and what parts of the body they are good for!

Produce samples...Kiwi and Blueberries

Dairy sample...Chocolate Soymilk (they thought it was very cool that it came from a bean)

Talking about their favorite cereals. Allie chose Lucky Charms of course to which she quickly said..."It's a Somtimes Food though." Good girl!

Grain sample...Oatmeal Squares

Meat and Fish. One of the boys said, "I've never seen a cow cut up. That's so sad for him." We were laughing at that one!

They got to feel scallops, mussels, and a crab. The worker even brought out a frozen Talapia for the kids to see. No samples here...so we went over to the deli and had turkey cheese roll-ups!

You would think she was making this face about the crab. Nope, it's for the bread. Silly girl!

Seriously contemplating whether or not the bread would be a good choice. Nope, mom got to eat it!

Posing with her recycleable bag. 

Such a fun trip!!
