Healthy Food Field Trip

I went with Sophia's preschool class for a walking field trip. Being on a college campus they get a lot of opportunities for walking trips. The childrens nutrition class always invites the preschool kids to their finals. The divide into small groups and plan a healthy kids snack and teach the kids how to make it. The groups also decorate the tables or have an activity for the kids to do. It is really fun and cute, i always get good ideas, and i can't believe the kids actually eat and try alot of the healthy foods they give them.
These are the kids getting ready to go in they played a quick game of "healthy or not healthy" snacks. each kid got a card with a food on it and had to say healthy or not. they loved it.
Sophia was at the "jungle table" where they made Lion Bagels and Orange juice. She put on cream cheese and is now putting chow mein noodles for the lions mane.
Sophia making her own Orange Juice, she was trying so hard to turn it around to get the juice out, can you tell?
Sophia showing off her finished Lion, she loved the olive eyes the most, not so much the mane.
Sophia couldn't wait to start and ate a half a bagel before and i think another whole one after her lion. She's a growing girl you know!

Some of the other kids made wheat quesadillas, guacamole and horchata. One group made ladybugs out of olives and tomatoes, Fruit smoothies, Yogurt Parfaits that they changed different colors, and yogurt dipped bananas with different topping. so cute and soooo yummy, i wanted to try them all especially the guacamole but i didn't get to try.
