Snack Detectives: Food Clues & Body Hints

Discover the hidden messages in your favorite foods through fun, hands-on activities. Kids will learn how different shapes, colors, and textures give clues about how foods help our bodies. We’ll explore tasty, real foods and create something delicious together—while learning to spot sneaky sugar and processed imposters! Please note: we’ll be working with a variety of ingredients, so if your child has any food allergies or sensitivities, let us know in advance so we can do our best to accommodate them safely.
