Come Celebrate with Produce for Kids {Twitter Party, Giveaways & More!}
We’ve talked a lot about getting our children to eat fruit and veggies on this blog, especially in the last month or so when I shared a couple of easy dinner ideas that gets kids to have fun choosing what they want.
When laying out options…with pretty colors…it looks more enticing don’t you think?
Produce for Kids is an organization that provides tools and resources for busy parents looking to embrace a healthy lifestyle and incorporate more fresh fruits and vegetables into their families’ daily diets.
Exactly what we’ve been talking about!
The Produce for Kids website has just been totally redesigned to make it an even greater resource for parents and their kids. With more recipes, more nutritional information and more ways to communicate with other parents, the site is better than ever!
