Look out for your free snack swaps pack
Wednesday 7th January 2015
Change4Life is focusing on Snack Swaps in schools, encouraging children to make snacks that still taste delicious. The Snack Swaps recipes are fun to make in the classroom, helping pupils learn about good nutrition.
From January onwards, primary schools will receive their Snack Swaps pack FREE with one of their School Fruit and Vegetable Scheme deliveries.
The Snack Swaps pack is filled with recipes and ideas to help teachers introduce cooking and nutrition into their timetable, and plan exciting cookery lessons for Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 children.
The children can use the template to make and decorate their own Snack Swaps box to take their culinary delight home in.
Don't forget to include the Sugar Swaps sign-up leaflets in each child's book bag so parents can sign up to Change4Life to receive tips, recipes and money-off vouchers. Sign up to Sugar Swaps here.
