International Eat Your vegetable Day 2026
TLC hosted our Annual Potjie Party celebrating an important Day at the same time, Eat Your Veggie Day! This day is a global reminder to celebrate the nutrient-rich, colorful benefits of produce...also to include more plant-powered foods into our daily meals.
This experience allowed our students to explore and learn more about vegetables, familiarize themselves with veggies they would not usually opt to eat on their own & to broaden their knowledge about fun facts & new delicious tastes.
Our TLC tots were able to wash their vegetables and also learned to peel, cut, slice, chop up all the wholesome veggies. They revised colours, shapes & even numbers while they readily prepped the items before popping them into the pot. They learned opposites & even directions too: inside & outside the pot, cut up & down, peel left to right...the Learning that happened during this activity makes us want to play more outdoors. The best part was to watch their faces change as they taste tested the veggies when they were served linch outside. Their eyes widened, their smiles broadened & their body language exudes such pride from turning the raw ingredients into a hearty meal. It was truly a fun day!
