Super Fruit and Veggies! at Roseville Elementary

This week the Honest Weight Food Co-op outreach team spent the afternoon at Roseville Elementary School with group of kindergartners playing with food!

The activity is called "Fruit and Veggie Sculptures" and is a part of Honest Weight Food Co-op's Ready, Set, Grow! program geared at introducing a variety of healthy, natural and locally grown food to school children and to increase their knowledge of the origin of food.


In this activity the children read "Gus and Button" and built sculptures out of fresh fruits and veggies.
