Getting our kids to eat healthy is a challenge most days of the year – during holidays like Halloween it can be even more difficult with all of the candy and junk foods that are available. The Art of Healthy Eating is happy to team up with the Boston Public Market to offer its Healthy Halloween class for children and their caregivers – a fun, interactive, and festive way to expose kids to wholesome plant based foods in a community setting. We will touch on topics such as why eating the rainbow is important, as well as why eating local is beneficial to our health as well as the environment. During this class children will have a chance to create and then enjoy their own works of festive, edible art featuring local plant based ingredients. Recommended for children ages 3 and up and their caregivers. Fee: Trustees of Reservations Members: $20 per family; Nonmembers: $25 per family. Image from www.famlii.com
