Fruit & Veggie Color Champions

Address:

General Notes:

Part of the MORE Matters site
Includes Recipes as well as Fun and Games for ages 2-5, Fun and Games for ages 6-8, Artwork, Coloring Sheets, and Activity Pages.
Great to use at home, at a daycare, at a preschool or in a school setting.

Strengths:

Site is colorful and easy to navigate.
Recipes
- have clever names that make them appealing to try.
- are simple to make.
Games are interactive and fun and contain nutrition facts.

Limitations:

Some of the recipes
- use ingredients (such as ground turkey) that may not be available in all areas.
- use more expensive ingredients so may not be practical for all families.
- may need adult supervision – for example, the ones that use a knife to chop vegetables. Maybe the recipes need to say have an adult chop the vegetables for you. Also knife safety could be added for the older children.
Some recipe instructions
- are not real clear – for example, should the broccoli florets be thawed before they are added to the pizza?
- do not list ingredient substitutions – for example, can fresh broccoli be used in place of the frozen broccoli in the pizza recipe?
