make your own plate!

  • January 28, 2025

In 2019, Canada’s Food Guide updated its guidelines to recommend filling half our plates with delicious fruits & veggies.

As part of our First Love Campaign—where we share tips & activities to encourage kids to fall in love with their fruit & veg first—we’ve created an engaging activity that’s equal parts fun & meaningful.

The challenge? Help your kids fill half the plate with their favourite fruits & veggies, using vibrant colour combos and endless possibilities to bring their imagination—and their plates—to life. They can also sketch in proteins and grains to craft a balanced, scrumptious meal. The goal? Inspire them to turn their creations into real-life choices at mealtime!
