Recent reports about some children believing that potatoes grow on trees and chips are made from apples illustrate why helping children discover where their food comes from is becoming an important nursery topic.
To support this, the National Day Nurseries Association's 'Healthy Body, Happy Me' campaign, which aims to support nurseries in giving children the 'energy for play, learning and fun', includes a themed 'Seed to Snack' day.
Supported by Nursery World, the week for the campaign runs from 10-14 March, with five themed days all designed to help day nurseries promote how they support all aspects of a child's well-being. The 'Seed to Snack' day is a great way to focus on getting children interested in where their food comes from. 'Astronaut food' grown in 'space rockets' is a great activity to tie in with the theme.
