Prompt for Kids: What’s Your Body Full Of?

Talking to kids about eating healthy sounds like a difficult task, but you can make it easy for little ones to digest with this visual conversation activity.

Give kids a chance to think about what they eat and how it affects them with this fun Q&A drawing activity.

You’ll Need:

  • Paper
  • Crayons
  • Prompts below

Directions:

Have kids fold a piece of paper into 4 equal parts. They are going to draw a picture in each part. For the first box, ask kids what their favorite sugary snacks are? Then tell them to draw an outline of their body and fill it with their favorite sugary snacks such as cookies, candy, and soda. As they draw, talk about sugar with them. Explain that sugar gets into our bloodstream quickly and makes us feel extremely energized very fast. Then explain how it wears off just as quickly and can make us feel extra tired. This is called a “sugar crash.” This can also make us feel hungrier than we are and make us eat more food than we need to. For the second box, ask kids how they usually feel after eating foods with lots of sugar? Tell them to draw themselves and what they might be doing after eating sugary foods. Discuss what they drew. For the third box, ask kids what goes into a smoothie? Then have them draw an outline of their body full of ingredients they would find in a smoothie. While they draw, talk about the benefits of fruits and veggies with them. Explain that vitamins found in fruits and veggies support healthy functioning in all kinds of ways, such as Vitamin A helps vision, Vitamin D makes bones strong, B vitamins make us feel happy, and Zinc fights viruses. For the fourth box, ask kids how they feel after having fruits and vegetables? Then tell them to draw themselves after having a big smoothie full of fruits and veggies. What might their energy be like? What might they be doing?

When all the boxes are done, discuss how these different types of food affect our bodies. Ask kids why it’s important to make good choices about what we put into our bodies. Reinforce what they learn through more talks in the kitchen!

Frequently asked questions

What comes in a Baketivity baking kit?

Each Baketivity baking kit includes pre-measured dry ingredients, easy step-by-step instructions, and fun educational activities designed for kids. Our recipes are created to help children learn real kitchen skills while baking something delicious with their family.

Do I need to buy additional ingredients?

You may only need to add a few fresh ingredients like eggs, butter, or milk, depending on the recipe. Most of the dry ingredients come pre-measured in the kit, making baking simple, convenient, and mess-free for kids.

What equipment do I need to use the baking kits?

Most families already have everything they need at home. Typically you'll need mixing bowls, a whisk, fork or spoon, measuring cups, and a lined baking pan. Some recipes may also require a microwave-safe bowl or oven.

What age are Baketivity baking kits best for?

Baketivity baking kits are designed for kids ages 4–16. Younger children may need a little help from a parent, while older kids can follow the instructions more independently and build confidence in the kitchen.

Do your baking kits contain nuts?

Nuts are not directly included in the recipes or ingredient lists. However, some components may be produced in facilities that also process nuts, sesame seeds, soy, and gluten, so trace amounts may be present.

Are Baketivity baking kits kosher?

Yes! All ingredients included in Baketivity baking kits are OU-certified kosher, and our facility is FDA-approved, so families can bake and enjoy their treats with confidence.

My ingredients feel hard or clumpy. Is that normal?

Yes! Our ingredients are vacuum-packed to keep them fresh, which can sometimes make them feel firm or clumpy. Simply open the bag and give it a shake, and the ingredients will loosen up and be ready to use.
