Making Healthy Lifestyle Choices

During March Nutrition Month, Livingston County Family and Consumer Sciences joined with Livingston County Early Childhood Council to present Dr. Seuss's "Green Eggs and Ham" at a preschool-parent event. Preschoolers and parents and/or grandparents learned the importance of a good breakfast by making green eggs and ham (plus biscuits, jam, and milk). Participants enjoyed omelet stations, where children cracked and stirred eggs (some making green eggs using food coloring) and watched the eggs cook (with optional lean diced ham added). A total of ninety-four parents, grandparents, volunteers, and children attended. Caregivers received newsletters and information on nutrition. Preschool screenings, craft booths, and story time with Dr. Seuss's Cat in the Hat character were also elements of the event.
