Activity 5

Nutrition Detectives

Watch the video before starting this activity. What kinds of snacks do you like? Collect a range of food packaging and look at the shapes and sizes of each. Now examine what information is on the packaging. What are the similarities and differences? What information is on every package?

Design a new healthy snack for kids. What ingredients will you use? What will the packaging look like? What colours, fonts and pictures might appeal to your audience? How will you ensure it is healthy, but delicious?

Explore different nets to make a range of 3D shapes. Choose one and create a unique package for your new healthy snack. Ensure it displays all the relevant information!
