Food Safety and Nutrition Activity Books for Kids

Raising healthy eaters starts young, and with summer in full swing and children out of school, now is a perfect time to teach them about food safety and nutrition. Cultivating good habits around food keeps kids safe and sets them on a path to a lifetime of well-being. Food safety and nutrition are key components of this journey, and thankfully, there are engaging books to make learning about them a fun adventure.

The Government Publishing Office (GPO) Bookstore offers the following bestselling educational publications to help teach young children the importance of food safety and good food choices.

Food Safe Families Activity Book for Kids covers the four essential steps to food safety: clean, separate, cook, and chill. It uses fun activities like crossword puzzles and word searches to keep kids engaged while learning how to prevent foodborne illness. Topics covered in this book teach kids important safety habits such as:

• How to wash their hands properly.
• How to avoid cross-contamination.
• How to cook food to the proper temperature.
• The importance of keeping food refrigerated.

Discover MyPlate Emergent Readers booklets illustrate the five building block food groups in the structure of a plated meal designed to help children identify foods within the food groups. It uses games and exercises to introduce the five food groups (fruits, vegetables, grains, protein foods, and dairy) and empowers kids to make healthy choices.

Combining these resources with a little creativity can turn mealtimes into a fun and educational experience. Your children will be well on their way to becoming healthy eaters with a strong understanding of food safety!
