National Eat Your Vegetables Day is today! It coincides with the middle of National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month. The day emphasizes the importance of vegetables in our diet. Children could celebrate the day in a variety of ways. They could make a list of all the vegetables they can think of. They could make categories of vegetables: vegetables that are really fruits (think tomato); leafy vegetables, root vegetables, seed vegetables, and stem vegetables. They could poll friends and family members as to favorite vegetables. They could choose a vegetable, research it, and share their findings. They could make a vegetable dip and enjoy with other vegetables.
