Discuss food packaging. Have students play in the dress-up center. In the middle of the activity, have students stand in a circle. Companies that want to sell toys or food often put them in pretty packages, so that people will want to buy them. You can't tell by looking at the package design if the food inside is good.
Students identify attractive food packaging.
Have students sit in front of the Food Store activity center. Move five packages from a variety of food groups to the front of the activity center. Choose packages from food groups at both the top and the bottom of the pyramid. The packages for the foods from the top of the pyramid should be more attractive than those for items from the bottom. Ask students to vote for the one package that they like best.
