Story Time and Yogurt Parfaits at Ms. Mandi's Preschool

Sara Tillery MA, RDN, LD, a pediatric outpatient dietitian with K&A Nutrition, visited Ms. Mandi's Preschool & ELC to read the kids some fun and interactive stories about nutrition, health and food.

Every food has a story

One of the stories we shared was Every Cake Has a Story by Christina Tosi. In it, Sammi brings all of her friends together to enjoy a cake that tells the story of the new and beautiful world we live in.

The lesson for little ones is a simple one. Slowing down to enjoy the flavors of our food brings families and friends together, and it helps us be more mindful of all the wonderful foods we eat to nourish our bodies.

Building yogurt parfaits

To finish, everyone built their own yogurt parfait with yummy fruit and a fun granola topping. Getting kids involved in making their own snack is one of the easiest ways to help them try new foods.
