Dietary Recommendations - Magnetic Version

Dietary Recommendations - Magnetic Version

Dietary recommendations are a magnetic teaching aid (87 elements) for discussing healthy eating guidelines and related recommendations. Compared to the Healthy Eating Pyramid and physical activity, this set includes both foods and dishes that support our health and physical condition, and those that harm us. To make lessons more engaging, the set has been enriched with well-known kids' emoji faces and arrows described as "more", "less" and "swap". Thus, next to the item representing "dark wholemeal bread" we can place a label with an arrow pointing up and the text "more"; accordingly, next to the item representing "light processed bread" we can place a label with an arrow pointing down and the text "less". If you place both these types of bread side by side, you can add a label with two arrows (one down, and the other up) and the text "swap" (swap white bread for dark).

The teaching aid is intended to help explain healthy eating guidelines both in school lessons and within educational campaigns promoting healthy eating and nutrition principles. Its construction and composition invite individual statements as well as group discussion about meals being consumed.

The set contains 87 colorful, magnetic elements in 100 percent, printed on full magnetic foil (and not pasted onto fragments of magnetic foil), suitable for presentation on any magnetic surface (metal, school whiteboard, …) to illustrate the principles and recommendations for proper, healthy nutrition.

The elements of the set can be arranged freely on a magnetic school board. The whole is clearly visible, the elements are large and easy to read. The dimensions of the largest oval elements are 18.3 x 12.2 cm (2 pcs); 14.5 x 12.5 cm (32 pcs). The diameter of the emoticons and arrows is 4.8 cm (there are 50 of them).
