Vegetables are any edible part of a plant that does not have seeds. Root vegetables like carrots and potatoes grow under the ground. Leafy vegetables, such as lettuce and broccoli, grow above the ground. Vegetables have many important vitamins, minerals and fiber that our bodies need. The daily recommendation for preschoolers is 1-1.5 cups.
A salad is a dish of mixed colorful ingredients, usually vegetables and dressing. Some salads have lettuce and tomatoes, while others have carrots and croutons. Salads are a very healthy meal to eat! During this Invitation to Create, the children created a salad collage on a plate with tissue paper and confetti. Through this process, the children were able to talk about nutrition and create a visual art piece. The general consensus was they don't like salad, however, one kiddo said they really liked salad!
They used scrap paper to create letter A collage, colored and cut a heart shape. We also did some letter matching, counting and placed stickers in our journals.
