Growing Healthy Habits

by McMillen Health

McMillen's puppet friends Mick and Milly join forces with the Food Group Friends to help preschoolers learn the importance of eating a healthy diet. Students will learn how to choose healthy foods from all five food groups, where food comes from, and how food grows as they act out the stages of a sunflower's life cycle. We'll also discuss exercise as a part of staying healthy. The program ends with all students having fun moving their bodies in a variety of ways.
