Vegetable People

Ask the children what a vegetable is. Show them some pictures of vegetables and examples of some real vegetables. Ask them if they can identify them. Explain that a vegetable is a food that grows from the ground. Tell the children that vegetables have vitamins which help make us healthy. Many of the vitamins in vegetables make us see well and keep our skin nice and soft. Show the children the vegetables you have cut up. Tell the children we can make healthy vegetable people from these vegetables. Give each child some cut up fresh vegetables and some toothpicks. After the children create their people they can eat them for snack.
