Eat a Rainbow for Healthy Fun

Here are some healthy eating ideas for back to school. Young gardeners can also "cook"! You can use the book "Planting a Rainbow" by Lois Ehlert.

We do Eating a Rainbow lessons with 2nd graders at Marquez. Kids can grow parts of the rainbow or not. You can draw a rainbow and have the kids match the fruits or veggies to the section on the rainbow.  They can sort the food or put them on toothpicks and skewers.
