EARTH TOASTS 🌎

πŸ§‘πŸ½β€πŸ³ Food painting is fun and easy!

πŸ§‘πŸ½β€πŸ³ Mix blue and green food coloring in a little bit of regular milk or condensed milk and use paint brushes to make your earth toasts! 🍞 πŸ–ŒοΈ

πŸ§‘πŸ½β€πŸ³ Make the shape with a glass πŸ₯ƒ

πŸ§‘πŸ½β€πŸ³ When toasting the bread, take the opportunity to talk about global warming and how earth will look browner and dryer… and it depends on how we treat our planet!

πŸ§‘πŸ½β€πŸ³ What is the impact of global warming? Rise in temperature, water shortages, increased fires, pest invasions, among others… The causes? Burning fossil fuels, cutting forests and farming livestock are some of them.

πŸ§‘πŸ½β€πŸ³ How to explain this concept to kids? Human activities like driving cars, creating electricity and cutting down forests, release gases into the air which warm the planet.

πŸ§‘πŸ½β€πŸ³ Children are the future! Teach them now how to take care of the Earth and how to keep it clean and healthy for generations to come! 🌍 🌱

πŸ§‘πŸ½β€πŸ³ Teach them to throw garbage only on designated places or bins.

πŸ§‘πŸ½β€πŸ³ Teach them about water and electricity conservation: turning lights off, shutting the water off while brushing their teeth, unplugging things when not in use...

πŸ§‘πŸ½β€πŸ³ Create recycled art with plastic bottles or tin cans or any material you don’t use anymore.

πŸ§‘πŸ½β€πŸ³ Plant a tree or grow a garden πŸͺ΄

πŸ§‘πŸ½β€πŸ³ Create a compost bin.

πŸ§‘πŸ½β€πŸ³ The goal is to mitigate climate change, reduce pollution, protect biodiversity, and support communities through food and energy production! 🌎

SNACK IDEAS FOR KIDS!

Tips:

πŸ§‘πŸ½β€πŸ³ Have snacks available at the time you wish
πŸ§‘πŸ½β€πŸ³ Make them accesible
πŸ§‘πŸ½β€πŸ³ Ready to eat
πŸ§‘πŸ½β€πŸ³ Encourage independence by letting them choose what they want.
πŸ§‘πŸ½β€πŸ³ Fruits in mason jars stay fresh longer! I have them always available for them to eat.
πŸ§‘πŸ½β€πŸ³ Only have a few snacks available so they are not full at lunch time or dinner!
πŸ§‘πŸ½β€πŸ³ I like to offer snacks that have protein, fiber and healthy fats. I fill the bucket with peanut butter waffers, whole grain mini bars, oatmeal cookies, raisins, mini mini muffins, nuts, gogo squeeze.

⭐️ Watch for foods with choking hazards for little ones under 3 years old, like whole grapes πŸ‡ , nuts and seeds, raw vegetables πŸ₯—, dried fruits, and chips.

⭐️ The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children under 2 years of age don’t consume any added sugar. Kids 2 and older should have no more than 25 grams (or 6 teaspoons) of added sugar daily.
