Grow It, Try It, Like It! Nutrition Education Kit featuring MyPlate is a garden-themed nutrition education kit for child care center staff that introduces children to: three fruits - peaches, strawberries, and cantaloupe, and three vegetables - spinach, sweet potatoes, and crookneck squash.
The kit includes seven booklets featuring fruits and vegetables with fun activities through the imaginary garden at Tasty Acres Farm! It also has a CD-ROM with supplemental information and a DVD with Cool Puppy Pup's picnic and lunch parties. Each set of lessons contains: hands-on activities, planting activities, and nutrition education activities that introduce MyPlate.
