I CAN Be Healthy

I CAN Be Healthy is designed to address the issue of childhood nutrition through the encouragement of healthy eating and exercise.

Bite-size Exhibits include:
• Farm - children will explore a working farm including planting crops, picking apples, milking a cow, gathering chicken eggs, and driving a tractor. Murals of modern farming will showcase farms in the community, highlighting the agricultural roots of North Mecklenburg.
• Grocery Store - from the U-Scan lane to the Bakery and Floral Shop this authentic market experience will provide opportunities for little ones to sort, gather and enhance their literacy readiness. Pick up a shopping list to help plan a healthy lunch as you “shop” for ingredients or play the role of the cashier or deli staff.
• Doctors Office - “doctors” will provide patients with a check-up as they examine eye sight, weight and height.
• Cafe - selecting healthy foods from the Food Guide Pyramid will be the focus of this role playing experience as children and adults act as customers, chefs, wait staff and restaurant managers.
• Fitness Center - everyone will be up and moving in this area filled with child-size exercise equipment, exercise videos and climbing wall.
