Vibrant Veggies: An Imaginative Exploration into the Colorful World of Vegetables

This is the third box in the Nutrition Explorer 12-Month Program that turns eating veggies into an exciting adventure for the whole family. Your child will explore the benefits of vegetables they already eat, along with a variety of exotic ones that prove “eating your veggies” has limitless options. They’ll also get to turn veggies into stamps, faces and shapes, and of course, scrumptious recipes that will take vegetables from boring to brilliant in the eyes (and mouths) of your little ones. 

What You’ll Explore This Month:

• The curious side of vegetables: Dig into details about vegetables as plants and nutrient powerhouses to spark curiosity in kids. Learn surprising facts like how nightshade vegetables grow and how veggies improve concentration.

• How to have fun with veggies: Watch kids’ appreciation for everything from leafy greens to root vegetables grow, as you make delicious dishes with a variety of vegetables, hunt for hidden veggies in their favorite foods, and turn your plate into a play space.

• Surprising ways to use your food: Beyond food and play, explore how vegetables are used every day in art, beauty, and even science. Each new use kids learn will challenge their thoughts and show them that vegetables are far from boring!

• A hands-on seed germination experiment: Bond over a behind-the-scenes look at how vegetables get from the ground to your family’s table with the excitement of planting a seed and helping it grow, the same way vegetables help us.
