Food Mission : Conquer the Galaxy of the 5 senses Poster

A fun and educational tool!

On board a rocket ship, educators at early childhood education services can help children discover a variety of nutritious foods using their 5 senses.

On planet Touch-It-All, children will discover the textures of different foods, on planet Did-You‑See, colours and shapes, on planet It-Smells-Good, children will explore foods through their sense of smell, on Taste-Buds through taste, and on Listen-up, through the sounds certain foods make.

And the poster doubles as a board game!

In addition to the poster, the leaflet features a variety of activities: stories, a nursery rhyme, a cooking activity, and educational activities. What’s more, pictures of foods and where they come from can be downloaded and printed.

The tool is designed for early childhood education services—that is, early childcare centres (CPEs), daycares, coordinating offices, and home childcare services in Quebec.

Also new: preschool teachers (who teach kindergarteners aged 4 and 5) can get this tool this year!
