Michelle Obama has devoted a lot of energy to helping kids learn about food and eating healthy. She recently launched a new program and show based on the characters Waffles and Mochi. They teach about many different foods in the show including where they grow, and multiple ways to enjoy them. Online there are badges to earn as you explore and encounter new and familiar foods. So far we have completed the egg, rice, and corn badges. The kids made beautiful omelets for lunch, peeled and ate corn on the cob and popcorn, and made risotto and played in a rice sensory bin. I love how helpful they've become in the kitchen and I look forward to earning more of these badges with them!
