Children love to be involved in activities with adults, so why not let them join in preparing family meals? Learning to cook is a valuable experience that can introduce nutrition and healthy eating habits early on; not to mention helping to create memories with loved ones.  Whether you're a parent, caregiver, child yourself or just a kid at heart, keep in mind these age-appropriate activities the next time you find yourself needing help preparing your next family meal.

Did you know that kids influence up to 80 percent of family food spending?  Even though parents do have control over what ultimately ends up in the grocery cart, allowing kids to have a say in what foods they eat may help them become healthy eaters as they grow.

Kids of any age can be involved in the shopping experience.  According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, some examples of kid-friendly activities in the aisle include:

* Creating a grocery list together.

* Encourage children to pick fruits and vegetables they enjoy.  Talk about colors, shapes and textures to enhance the learning experience.

* Read food labels together.  This helps kids understand nutrition concepts, and also allows them     to practice reading skills.
