Kindergarten block of St Joseph’s Sr. Sec School organised “Eat Smart & Small” activity for the tiny tots of Nursery, to inculcate good eating habits along with food management.

The teachers demonstrated the kids as how much quantity of food they should have in their plates. They advised the students to eat healthy food only and take small servings in their meal plates. When the food in plate is finished and they still feel appetite then may take small servings of the same again. This way children would learn the value of food and develop the habit of not wasting it.

They should shop smartly with small packings of eatables. Teachers shared some tips to reduce food wastage like pickling, drying, canning, fermenting, freezing and curing to make food last longer. Parents were advised to control the supply lines according to the need and hunger, encourage the kids to join “Clean plate club”, use compost pits for kitchen waste and instead of preaching “be the role model” for the little ones as the children adopt the behaviour what they observe.

Tiny tots enjoyed this enriching activity to the fullest with small treat given by their parents and as instructed by their teachers.
