Balance Board
Track what your child needs each day and encourage him to make good food choices with this clever system. The magnetic board displays U.S. daily nutritional requirements for children, but the amounts are similar to Canadian guidelines.

“I liked the idea of being able to track what Issak was eating in a day. It was eye-opening to see that he was not actually eating from all the food groups. He needed my help to track his food, so this might be more suitable for older kids who are taking health at school and can relate to the food groups.” – Karie-Ann Nafziger, mom of Aaron, 15, Rae-Ann, 13, Jakob, 10 and Issak, 4, Elmira, Ont.
