In a further effort to get my daughter to eat more fruits and veggies, I purchased the Today I Ate a Rainbow chart and book and it charms my little one to eat her veggies like a cobra being called up out of a basket. The second she starts being difficult about eating her peas or blueberries, I pull out the book and read it. She opens her mouth the second I start reading about Yoshi and all the other characters who don't eat right. The book talks about how kids' growing bodies need the phytonutrients (a new word in her vocabulary now) that you can only get from naturally-occurring red, orange, yellow, green and blue/purple foods.
Order at todayiatearainbow.com and also check out their free downloads and video of the Rainbow song. Also check out Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution Day. Even though 2012's event has passed, I plan to host an event at my daughter's school as soon as the new school year starts.
