The food team

After the iron episode, make a drawing and think of a new question together.

You will need

Paper and pencils or markers. No food or utensils are needed.

Let’s explore

  1. Turn off the screen and remember together why Pico’s cooking pot was not food. Use drawings only, rather than metal objects.
  2. Draw two foods from the episode together, such as lentils and a pepper.
  3. Invite your child to explain what surprised them and what Pico learned.
  4. Add a question you would like to explore next time.
  5. The drawing is a conversation prompt; it does not measure iron content and is not a meal plan.

Which idea did you change after learning something new?
