The MyBodyBoard Eatwell Plate + Nutrition pack is aimed to provide teachers with the tools to run informative and fun lessons on healthy eating. The pack consists of double sided magnetic board showing the Eatwell plate on one side and an outline of the human body on the other. It is smaller size board compared to the Professional pack, ideal for classrooms. Two magnetic packs are included - the Eatwell plate with 74 different picture magnets and 7 text descriptions, and the Nutrition pack with 54 different picture magnets and 44 text descriptions.
Health professionals can engage with individuals and groups to discuss issues around healthy eating and educate on the various food groups. Users match up the magnetic pictures with the words and then place them on the My BodyBoard. A session plan and pop lock folder is included with each pack.
