Cut & Sort: Healthy & Unhealthy Foods
Cut & Sort: Healthy & Unhealthy Foods
Quick Answer
Color, cut, sort, and glue while talking about food choices! Children name familiar foods and sort them into healthy and unhealthy food categories, using “choose often” and “enjoy less often” as conversation starters. Apple and cupcake picture cues help children identify each column without needing to read.
