Combined with the “Healthy Foods” cookbook, the Unit Study has been a wonderful tool for teaching my three boys to be responsible for their own health and nutrition! We’ve been using it as a homeschool science elective–they love it! My boys are now reading food labels, drinking more water and–I can’t believe this one–turning down donuts!! If you want to plant some great seeds in your young ones lives, this is a fantastic tool!

I’m a big fan of Ms. Ely’s book, Saving Dinner, so I was very excited to find her study guide for kids. However, I was disappointed to open the box and find only 32 one-sided pages, loose with no binding at all. Of these, only 21 pages are worksheets and parent guides–the rest are a food diary! It’s cleverly designed and kid-friendly, but not worth $8.95! In addition, the information is heavily weighted toward identifying carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Good info for kids, but I was hoping to steer my picky eater toward fruits and veggies and there was little information on the their benefits.

This unit study is written in a way kids can understand nutrition and WANT to eat healthy foods. You must have the Healthy Foods Cookbook to go along with it. Mom (or teacher) goes over the info in the cookbook and the children have short work pages in the Unit Study to fill in. Leanne Ely writes in such a humerous style, it makes the study fun!
