Turn fruits and veggies into fun shapes and characters! Use cookie cutters to create animal shapes out of melon slices or arrange sliced fruits into smiley faces on a plate. 🍽️

Getting your little ones to play with food is a great way of exploring sensory play! This can help prevent picky eating, build motor skills, and encourage brain development! 🧠

This Fourth of July marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence! 🇺🇸 While you’re spending time outside with family and friends this weekend, it’s important to stay cool and take care of yourself. 🫶

Here are a few ways you can stay cool and safe in the sun ☀️
🥤Freeze your water before putting it in a cooler or bag to go so it melts and stays chilled while you’re enjoying time outside
🧴 Reapply sunscreen every few hours for the best sun protection
🥒 Bring fruits and veggies with high water content to snack on! This includes cucumbers, watermelon, strawberries, cantaloupe, and peaches.
🌅 Time your days for less time in the peak heat hours! Spending time outside in the early morning or in the evening after dinner helps reduce time spent in the heat.

Get ready for the Fourth of July with nutritious foods to make snacks on the go with WIC: www.signupwic.com



Este 4 de julio se cumplen 250 años de la firma de la Declaración de Independencia. 🇺🇸 Mientras disfruta del aire libre con familiares y amigos este fin de semana, es importante protegerse del calor y cuidarse. 🫶

Aquí tiene algunas ideas para protegerse del calor y cuidarse bajo el sol: ☀️
🥤 Congele sus botellas de agua antes de ponerlas en la hielera o en una bolsa para llevar. Así, el agua se irá derritiendo y se mantendrá fría mientras disfruta de un momento al aire libre.
🧴 Vuelva a aplicarse protector solar cada pocas horas para protegerse mejor del sol.
🥒 Lleve frutas y vegetales con alto contenido de agua para comer entre comidas. Algunas buenas opciones son pepinos, sandía, fresas, cantalupo y duraznos.
🌅 Planifique sus actividades para pasar menos tiempo al aire libre durante las horas de más calor. Pasar tiempo al aire libre temprano por la mañana o al atardecer, después de cenar, ayuda a reducir la exposición al calor.

Prepárese para el 4 de julio con el WIC, que le recomienda alimentos nutritivos para preparar refrigerios para llevar: https://signupwic.com/es/
