BEHAVIORAL

Increase vegetable intake in pre-school children

6-week Intervention: 120 AA and HA children will be shown the Puppet Shows and will be given a bag of ingredients to prepare the vegetable highlighted that week in the Puppet Show. The 6 week intervention includes a baseline assessment (1 week), followed by the intervention (4 weeks), and post assessment (1 week). The primary hypothesis to be tested is children who receive the PUPPET intervention with a parent/teacher component will demonstrate "increase vegetable intake in pre-school children".
