Grocery Shopping
Grocery shopping with kids can be fun. Involve your kids in your shopping trip by making shopping into a learning experience. Have your younger children find foods of different colors and shapes. Older children can look for letters in signs or read packages.
Write a shopping list together and have your older child check off the items as you purchase them. When your kids are busy shopping, it can be less stressful for you and kids can learn about healthy foods.
