The Green Challenge!
In honor of March being "National Nutrition Month" and with St. Patrick's Day approaching, we were brave and took a "Green Challenge" in Nutrition Expedition this week! I explained to the children that a challenge is something that tests your courage and requires you to be brave and try tricky, or challenging, things. I brought with me 4 types of green fruits and vegetables: Granny Smith apples, green grapes, asparagus, and brussel sprouts! They were pretty excited about challenging themselves to try each item. I gave them each a chart to fill out so they could record what they liked (or didn't like). Even the infants were able to participate in the fun!
With that said, I'm extending the "Green Challenge" to you and your family! Be bold, be brave, and most importantly, try new things! You might be surprised at what you can get your children to try when you turn it into a fun game! Feel free to send us a few pictures of your home challenge, or post to our Joyful Noise Facebook page! I'd love to see what you come up with :)
