Program Description

Event Description

Are you running out of ideas for your child's school lunch? Are you worried that the lunches you pack aren't all that nutritious? Are you suspicious that your child is trading away those well planned healthy lunches for junk food? If so, come and learn about the parent-child feeding relationship with an educator from Cornell Cooperative Extension and get ideas for nutritious, appetizing lunches that appeal to children. Please bring your child's lunch box, clean empty containers and an ice pack. You will be creating a healthy lunch for your child to take to school the next day.  School-aged children who can sit independently are welcome to attend.  They will work on an activity while parents discuss topics with the instructor and then can join parents for the food preparation.  

Younger siblings cannot be accommodated as the first half of the program requires independent sitting.  Please note that this program is 1.5 hours long.
