These six colorful Discover MyPlate handouts include information on nutrition and physical activity for parents of kindergarteners as well as interactive activities parents can complete with their children.

These colorful profile cards feature each of the five Food Group Friends and MyPlate Nate and MyPlate Kate. Each card lists the foods on the back that makes up each food group friend or, in the case of MyPlate Nate and Kate, shares what they do to stay healthy.

The Emergent Reader: Teacher’s Edition is larger than the emergent reader mini books and is in color. It features all seven of the emergent readers, along with additional activity and discussion ideas. 

This interactive student workbook is filled with 19 activities that explore Discover MyPlate lesson topics and are connected to education standards for literacy, letter-sound correspondence, counting, sequencing, classifying objects, identifying healthy behaviors, and more.

This educational storybook, available in English and in Spanish, was developed to introduce MyPlate to young children.

These 52 bright, graphic cards allow students to take learning into their own hands as they sort through the five food groups and explore familiar and new foods.
