PinguAfter the shakeup with Melanie being fired, they’re trying all kinds of different things at  Sprout. One of them is the Sprout Diner campaign on healthy eating and cooking.

I like the idea of using children’s favorite cartoon characters to encourage them to eat healthy. Much better than getting them to buy toys and eat sugary cereals. The recipes are very creative, like Angelina’s Ballet Slippers (stuffed peppers) and Barney’s Purple Hummus Dip (you use beets to color the hummus).

Each recipe lists:

  • ingredients
  • equipment needed
  • how preschoolers can help do the cooking
  • nutritional information

There’s also a link to KidsHealth and a way to send the recipe via an electronic recipe card.

Finally the site features interactive games, printables, and a make your own placemat activity. So make a dinner reservation at the Sprout Diner today!

    I am very sorry to see Melanie go, but the Sprout Diner sounds great.
