Show ACD just how adventurous of an eater the children in your care are by taking part in our, “Eat the Rainbow” Challenge. For every letter color in the rainbow, there are several delicious and nutritious foods listed. Write the foods down as the child tries them and ask them to record how they liked them. Once they have tried at least three items from each color, send in their completed list to the ACD Office! Each child who completes the challenge will be named an “ACD Adventurous Eater” in the Potpourri magazine and will receive a certificate and sticker.

This challenge will end on June 30, 2016, so please send all completed lists before then.

Please note that we will need one sheet per child participating in this challenge so we are able to send a certificate and prize to each child. Please call the ACD Offices if you would like to receive more copies of this challenge.

Be adventurous, try new foods, and have fun!
