Fun Interactive Meal Planning!

Teaching and Stickers are just a natural fit! …….so when I ran across this AWESOME sticker book on Amazon I immediately thought about how I could use this in the classroom!


Melissa & Doug makes a super cool sticker book for children and they have one with food!  For $4.99 on Amazon, you get 15 place settings and 225 stickers.  What a great way to end a lesson on nutrition or plating!

Here are some additional ideas of how you could use this sticker book to engage your students!

  • Have student use their nutrition knowledge to build a balanced meal. 
  • Ask students to use the stickers to demonstrate Mise en place. 
  • Use the Make a Meal sticker book as an introductory activity – ask students to create a plate then calculate the total calories, etc. 
  • Using their food label knowledge have students create a meal under “xxx” calories.
