Nutrition Australia ACT presents

Nourishing Little Minds is a fantastic 4-week program where children have ‘story time’ at Libraries ACT followed by a food preparation activity with the team from Nutrition Australia ACT. It’s great for children aged 0-5 to try new healthy foods in a supportive environment.

Although the program has been put on hold due to COVID-19, Leanne Elliston from Nutrition Australia ACT says they “still have lots to share and have created a Nourishing Little Minds Facebook group.” She says the closed group was created “especially for parents and carers of children aged 0-5 years” where they can “pick up tips and share ideas on how to have positive food experiences with their children.” 

Nourishing Little Minds is a community-based initiative supported through ACT Health, Healthy Canberra Grants.
