Event Details
Registration required. This is a two-part series. Register one time and you'll be enrolled in both sessions.
Ages 8-11 and their caregivers. Healthy Habits, Happy Kids is a two-part interactive wellness program adapted from Michigan State University Extension’s evidence-based “Jump into Foods and Fitness” (JIFF) curriculum that aims to empower children with lifelong healthy lifestyle practices in an enjoyable and developmentally appropriate way. Through engaging presentations and fun, hands-on activities, participants learn the importance of eating a variety of fruits and vegetables, staying active each day, and supporting their mental well-being. Presented by students from MSU's College of Nursing Nurse Practitioner Program.
Session One - Nutrition: Session One introduces children to the importance of eating a variety of fruits and vegetables using JIFF nutrition concepts, the USDA MyPlate framework, and the “eat the rainbow” method. Children will complete a hands-on art activity and participate in guided tastings of new foods, with parents present to ensure safety and support.
