[Cacfp] 🌈 CACFP Week Day 2 – Color Your Plate Day

[Mank, Alissa M]

Happy CACFP Week!

Today we’re celebrating Color Your Plate Day, a fun way to encourage trying a variety of fruits and vegetables — and a perfect fit for a little St. Patrick’s Day fun!

Ways to celebrate today:
• Serve a variety of colorful fruits or vegetables at meals or snacks
• Ask children to name the colors on their plate
• Talk about how different colored foods help our bodies in different ways
• Create a simple “rainbow plate” with fruits and vegetables
• Add a festive touch by including a green fruit or vegetable like cucumbers, broccoli, or kiwi

Exploring colorful foods can help build healthy habits that last a lifetime.
