🌾 From Farm to Table: A Healthy Journey for Curious Kids

Where does food really come from? In Section 6 of Grow, Learn, Thrive, kids ages 5–10 trace the journey of food from seed to plate. Through fun, screen-free activities, children learn about composting, insects, plant growth, and healthy eating in ways that connect directly to daily life.

This section is perfect for homeschool, Montessori, and unschooling educators teaching nutrition, sustainability, and food systems with a hands-on approach.

🍽️ What Kids Will Explore in Section 6:

• Seed to Plant Growth Tracker – Observe and draw how seeds become plants.
• Garden Insects Exploration – Learn about helpful bugs like ladybugs, bees, and worms.
• Tiny Helpers Matching Game – Connect insects to their garden roles.
• Healthy Eating Plate & “What’s on My Plate?” – Teach balanced nutrition in a visual way.
• Healthy Food Word Search – Reinforce vocabulary with a playful puzzle.
• Compost Sorting Game – Learn what goes into compost vs. the trash.
• Farm-to-Table Maze & Coloring Path – Connect food’s journey from garden to kitchen.

📚 Why This Section Works for Educators:

• Integrates science, health, and sustainability into one unit
• Encourages observation and journaling with growth trackers
• Builds healthy eating habits with food-related activities
• Connects children to the bigger picture of food systems

By linking gardening, insects, nutrition, and composting, this section helps kids see how every choice we make—planting a seed, eating a veggie, or recycling scraps—creates a healthier planet.
