====**Introduction **==== Within these pages we are providing a resource for teachers on the subject of Healthy Eating in Early Childhood Education. Healthy Eating is a huge part of any child's day and starting to learn about these topics during Kindy and Pre-Primary will be of great benefit and future health of the children.

**Task Overview **
The project we have provided is Healthy Eating aimed at Kindy to the Pre-Primary age. This topic is designed to span out over a one week period comprising of approximately 45 minutes each day. Students will learn the 'better choice' in the decision of eating to be healthy and will discover this via a mixture of discussions, a movie, creating a 'Good and Bad' food chart and will end the week with a fun project of making their own 'funny fruit face' and eating it for morning/afternoon tea.
