Answer by For the childrens sake.
You should make a food pyramid and have the children cut out food from magazines and paste it in the right spots. Make Flash cards of healthy and not so healthy foods play a thumbs up and thumbs down game. Have projects where you cook a lot. Make it hands on children learn the best that way.
Answer by Kat H
Cut large pieces of raw veggies. Let the kids dip them into finger paint and stamp the shapes on paper. You could write the name of each vegetable for them where they stamped it. Celery works really well. You can cut shapes into a potato, a square or a star.
Answer by teacher25
I used a styrofoam plate, the kind with the compartments and had kids draw or make a collage of foods from the different parts of the food pyramid. The different compartments were the different parts of the food pyramid. It was creative because the kids could use different materials (magazines, markers, crayons, paint, etc…) Good luck!
Answer by Random person
Perhaps you could ask the children to draw specific healthy foods and stick them on green cards, and draw ’sometimes’ foods of red cards. Teach them that the foods on the green cards are good, and to rarely eat the ones on the red cards.
Answer by tchrzpt
i always used the actual foods so that way the children can then eat their creations and that makes for great conversations.so things like discuss colors and make purple cows, or ants on a log, or a fruit salad (either individual or group) and then have fun eating

Question–: Can anyone help me fin d a science/sensory or discovery activity related to nutrition for preschool children?
It has to be a teacher directed activity where the teacher would teach it to the preschoolers or a child-directed activity where the student would know what to do or kinda know what to do with it if he just goes over to the science center to do it.

Answer by Kelly
Okay deleted my last answer as I just now noticed you said related to nutrition, sorry. You could always have the children try three different types of apples, red, yellow, and green. Give them a slice of each and then have them place their name under which one they liked best to create a graph. Its all I can think of right now
Answer by Amber
* you could have 3 different types of apples. They could compare their similarities and differences. You can cut the apples in different ways… in quarters, or in half so that they can see the seeds forming a “star”. They could taste the apples and make a graph of which they like best. They could remove the seeds and see how many were in each one. Of course, prediction/estimation is a great skill to introduce in preschool.
* A Soup-er Lunch: Fill empty water table with dried green split peas and add a few props such as bowls, ladles, and spoons. Using the utensils, a visiting student ladles out several bowls full of split pea soup, while begin careful not to spill a single pea.
* Dry Versus Fresh: For each child, put a dried banana chip, a raisin, a piece of candied pineapple, a dried apple ring on one half of a plate. ON the other half, put a banana slice, half a purple grape, a pineapple tidbit, and an apple slice. Instruct children to observe, feel and smell each food item. Next have each child match his fresh fruit pieces with his dried fruit pieces. Have children discuss similarities and differences between each pair of foods. Then invite each child to munch on his fruity foods.
* Cheese Please: Pretend play sand is Parmesan cheese. Add spoons, funnels, measuring cups, and empty nonbreakable cheese shakers like those found at a pizzeria.
* Alphabet Soup: Make pairs of craft foam letter cutouts. Then float the letters in your water table. Provide a large plastic mixing spoon. A child stirs the soup with the spoon. Then he chooses a letter, finds its twin, and place the letters in a container. He continues in the same way with each remaining pairs of letters in the water table.
* If your are permitted to use food for sensory… kids love a dried bean mixture at the sensory table.
* Digging for Potatoes: Fill a large bucket or barrel with dirt. Bury 10-20 potatoes in the dirt. Talk with the children about how potatoes grow in the dirt. Ask them to think about how a farmer might harvest potatoes. Then show them the bucket of dirt. Let the children gently dig through the dirt and “harvest” the potatoes in it.
* Kitchen Scale: Have the children weigh as they clean them for snack. What weight more/less?
•May wish to use for fruit as well.
* Groomed Veggies: Near the water table, set out a tray of small root veggies such as carrots, potatoes, parsnips, radishes, beets, and turnips. Provide the children with veggie brushes so that they can wash the fresh vegetables for their snack. Serve raw root vegetables with dip, toss them in a salad, or cook them in soup.
* Shucking Corn: Cover a table with newspaper and set out a bucket or bowl of corn to be shucked. Show the children how to removed the husk and silk from each ear of corn. Place a big pan in the center of the table to hold the shucked corn.
* Mashed Potato Fun: Stir water into instant mashed potato flakes. Then add food coloring.
* Orange Scents: Collect a variety of orange-flavored foods for the children to smell and compare. For example, orange juice, orange candy, orange drink mix, and orange flavoring. Also set out a real orange, cut in half.
* What’s Inside?: Purchase several different loaves of bread, such as white, whole-wheat, nut, and raisin swirl, from the local bakery. Ask that the bread not be sliced. Show the loaves to the children. Ask them if they can tell what is inside of the bread just by looking at the outside. Slice each loaf in half. How do the insides look same? How do they look different?
* Alphabet Noodles: I bought 6 packages of alphabet noodles from the pasta section of my grocery store. I colored each one of the packages a different color (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple). To color pasta (or rice), put pasta in an old ice cream bucket. add several drops of food coloring, and 2 capsful of rubbing alcohol. Put the lid on the bucket, and shake to mix. Lay it out on several layers of newspaper to dry. Add more food coloring for darker colors. After all of the noodles are dry, mix all the colors together, and put them in your sensory table with plastic tweezers, and small containers.
* Egg Shakers: Place seeds, rice, etc. into plastic eggs and reinforce the middle with duct tape. Use for musical activities.
* What’s Hatching?: Use the pattern ? to create two copies of the animal cards. Color, cut out and glue to tagboard. Trace an egg shape around each and then laminate for durability. Cut out the egg shapes. Place the cutouts in discovery for the children to investigate. Encourage preschoolers to find a match for each animal card. Later when they have become familiar with the cards, invite them to play Memory.
* You could squeeze/smash fruits to come to the conclusion of where fruit juice comes from. Oranges, lemons, strawberries, etc. You could provide a visual recipe and make a smoothie or ot
