How can i explain to children about health and fitness so they will understand?
I am working with 3-4year olds and during circle time i want them 2 have an understanding of why its important im not sure how to word it so it dont sound to complex can someone start me off? I have collected books on fruit at the library and will be making fruit salad with them...

get out that food pyramid! do a circle time on each food group (starting off with fruit was good!). get veggies, breads, dairy products (keep in mind to do very little with the fats and oils group). then have them help put together the pyramid. i believe they have a lot of coloring pages, etc. on their website. p.s. i've seen a teacher make a big pyramid with magazine cutouts of different foods. the children helped glue or tape the pieces to the group they belong to.

Show them a picture of my ex-wife and tell them that if they do not eat right and exercise, they will end up looking like this.
