Eat My ABCs

The "Eat My ABCs" curriculum incorporates senses into learning (hear, see, smell, taste) and includes two sessions/week: 1) healthy eating learning; and 2) mindful food taste-testing activities to expose children to the one fruit, one vegetable, and relevant food items made from the one fruit and one vegetable to teach children the creative ways to make fruit/vegetable healthy and tasty. Child Letter to Parents. Every week, each child will create one letter, using stickers, regarding the one fruit and one vegetable presented in the program that he/she tasted or wanted to try at home. Program Cookbook. The investigators have developed a targeted program cookbook for low-income families. The program cookbook contains all budget-friendly recipes for healthy breakfasts, family meals, quick-fixes, kid-friendly snacks, and occasional sweets. In addition, the cookbook contains creative ways of making fruit/vegetable healthy, tasty, and kid-friendly at home.
