I found this plate inspiring - although at the moment it engages kids with any food placed on it perhaps the idea could be adapted to encourage healthy eating.

Who says you can't play with your food and eat it too? Encouraging creativity in children by teaching them to make fun healthy snacks in unique shapes could help to reinforce how fun eating healthy can be. Ants on a log, funny shaped foods, and other unique creative solutions could be a step in the right direction.

The answer is twofold. 1. Get kids eating well. 2. Once they are eating well they will be more susceptible to learning how to make better food.

Make it fun and learn from the pros.

Every time we try a new thing, we're performing a science experiment. Kids are no different. They won't know what they like or what's good for them until they perform their own experiment.
