Cooking And Gardening For Young Children.
Cooking And Gardening For Young Children.
These pages are a mixture of our own resources, and those we have found from other people and organisations. Some resources here have been provided by practitioners and parents who have tried and tested them, but you will have to assess for yourself the benefits for your own children and whether it will meet the guidelines you are working with.
Some resources are created by food industries. While they are not allowed to promote intentionally inaccurate information, they will naturally wish to promote their product as the most important part of the diet. However some of the resources they provide are very good when used in context. Wherever I am aware that a resource is industry sponsored I will say so, and you can exercise your common sense in evaluating it.

I Eat Vegetables
by Hannah Tofts
Lovely simple picture book aimed at very young children. For each vegetable there is a large full colour photo of the whole vegetable and the name of the plant, with a flap page which folds out to show 2-3 more photos of parts of the plant and the words for those. For example broccoli has a photo of a whole head, then a sliced head and florets, and the words “broccoli”, “head”, “stalk” and “florets”. So a very simple book but a nice introduction to the language of parts of foods. Foods featured are cabbage, carrot, onion, corn, tomato, broccoli, pepper, potato.
Available from most booksellers.
Let's Eat - What Children Eat Around The World

Lovely full colour book about 5 children around the world and their relationship with food. Shows that while the food they eat may be very different, they all have to shop, help to cook, and eat the food, and make food together to celebrate special occasions.
