Eat Smart - Healthy Eating on Your Plate with 64 Magnetic Elements

Eat Smart - Healthy Eating on Your Plate with 64 Magnetic Elements

Product Description

The set includes 64 colorful magnetic elements made on a full sheet of magnetic film (not pasted from fragments of magnetic foil), suitable for display on any magnetic surface (metallic surface, classroom whiteboard, etc.) to illustrate the principles of proper, healthy eating.

The teaching aid is designed to help explain healthy eating guidelines, both in school lessons and within educational campaigns promoting healthy nutrition and eating habits. Its construction and components invite both individual contributions and group discussions about the meals we eat.

The set includes two plates – one with a green rim and one with a red rim. This can be used to create two meal sets or as a good (green) and bad (red) plate representing healthy and unhealthy foods.

On the plates you can "load" food by choosing from 62 different food representations, covering both healthy foods and items less healthy or potentially harmful.

Elements of the set can be arranged freely on a magnetic classroom board. It is also possible to add and draw additional information and elements (labels, arrows, etc.) next to the magnetic elements. The whole setup is well visible; the elements are large and easy to see. Dimensions of the largest elements (oval plates): 21 x 30 cm. The size of the food-representing pieces depends on the type of food – the smallest are hazelnuts (5 x 5.5 cm) and sausage slices (3 x 7 cm), and the largest include items such as a bag of chips (10 x 14 cm) or a bowl of breakfast cereals (11 x 14 cm).

Contents of the Set (the entire composition is MAGNETIC):
