4 Fun and Easy Thanksgiving Nutrition Activities for Kids (Free Printables!)
Are you looking for fun and easy ways to teach your kids about Thanksgiving nutrition? These printable worksheets are perfect even for the tiniest of turkeys.
Whether you're a teacher, a parent, or are hosting a pre-Thanksgiving party with friends and family, you will get a lot of use out of these 4 Fun and Easy Thanksgiving Nutrition Activities for Kids.
Your kids will learn a lot with these Thanksgiving themed nutrition activities. The activities are designed to introduce different types of foods that kids may not be familiar with. These activities are great for all kids, including those with picky eating or selective intake. I talk a lot on my blog and social media about the benefits of food-related activities that expose kids to foods in no-pressure-to-eat ways, like using words, visualizations, thoughts, and feelings. This approach is proven to help kids accept more foods and increase their diet variety over time - without anxiety and meltdowns!
These activities are also designed to gently expose children to Principles of Intuitive Eating. As a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, I aim to integrate Intuitive Eating into all aspects of my nutrition practice. Use these Thanksgiving nutrition worksheets to help your child think about their food likes, dislikes, and encourage them to experiment by trying a new or unfamiliar food on their Thanksgiving plate!
