Make Nutrition Fun and Even Colorful!

Check out this really fun and cool idea on how to make nutrition fun for you child!

We found this article on www.parenting.com and it says that a really colorful way to get your little one to eat healthier is to color coordinate each day with certain foods of the same shade.

For each day of the week, pack their lunch with a certain color of the rainbow! Not only will they learn their colors, they'll be eating healthier, too... (something all moms want!)
