Ypu could make colorful or attention getting signs to go with the steps in handwashing. Encourage the child to do it himself or part of it like dressing up. Demonstrate how it is done.

Healthy habits can be fun when we sing songs about them, turn them into games, add fun colors or characters like having a paw patrol toothbrush, make them sensory experiences like different textures in our food, get the kids engaged, have them teach the teachers how to do it.

Reading the labels and discussing the different types of nutrients helps young learners be aware of nutrition and make healthy decisions regarding food and exercise.

I have a large garden that I will have the children plant their veggies and maintain, then when veggie matures the can pick to take home. I feel showing the kiddos how to garden will be a fun way to healthy eating.

sing songs like ‘the clean up’ song or give stamps or stickers when a child washes their hands on their own or throws away trash. Encouraging words and congratulations helps build those habits too.
