Every child should have a diet that includes protein (like meatloaf), fiber, calcium and other essential nutrients. Parents and teachers can help kids learn about proper nutrition and health through education. The following websites will help ensure that kids learn about getting the right nutrition they need to stay healthy.  On this page you will find online games and activities; printable activiites and lesson plans and of course, recipes.  Take a look!
