How can you encourage your kids to enjoy trying different foods? The Explorer Card could help get them more excited about discovering something new. Each time your child tries a new fruit or vegetable you give them a stamp. Once they get 10 stamps for exploring ten new foods, you can give them a big reward like spending some time as a family doing an activity of their choice.
MORE MANAGE PORTIONS
We want to encourage children to eat more healthily by letting them choose and serve themselves. From picking the right kinds of foods that contain the correct balance of nutrients, to putting the right amount on the plate. Nestlé for Healthier Kids is helping parents by suggesting useful and fun ideas on how to ensure correct portion sizes for their kids.

StartHow Can You Encourage Your Children To Move More?
MORE MOVEMENT
Any amount of exercise is better than none at all. And it doesn’t matter what kind it is either – running, jumping and throwing all counts. Being active is not only important for children to develop their motor skills, it helps them with decision-making, paying attention and also teamwork.

JOIN USIt’s great to encourage kids to eat plenty of fruit and vegetables, but it’s not always straightforward. Bringing a bit of fun to mealtimes as a reward for eating more of these foods could help. How about using a fun placemat during dinner which can then be folded into different shapes for them to play with once they’ve finished eating?
What you need
We can all use a little extra motivation when it comes to getting active. Something as simple as leaving your kid’s running shoes by their bed could help remind them to get moving as soon as they wake up. Why not start by using our fun shoe mat? There’s no reason why the whole family can’t join in!
What you need
To encourage kids to move more, it helps to give them fun activities they can do even when they’re indoors. Why not try these fun dance routines to help your kids stay active any time and no matter what the weather?
How it works
- Pick a dance routine and print it out.
- Use the print out to practice the moves. Try it out with different types of music.
- Try to perform the dance without the paper, it doesn’t matter if you don’t get every step right, the aim is to just keep moving!
Sometimes children can’t avoid sitting still – like in the car on the way to school or to visit family. Often we give kids snacks to keep them entertained at these times, but they’re not always necessary. Instead, why not use a game to keep them busy?
What you need
List of objects, pens or pencils
It’s not unusual for kids to get into the habit of snacking between meals. Why not give them a fun game to keep their hands busy during those times they might want to snack?
What you need
Plastic bottle or other plastic container with a tight lid
Sand or small pebbles
Small items that fit into the bottle which can be the “treasure”
