The EFAD Breakfast Toolkit Project has been expanded to include a Kids Edition, specifically targeting children aged 6-12. This initiative aims to translate nutrient recommendations for breakfast into practical, fun, and engaging advice tailored for young individuals and their families. The Kids Edition focuses on interactive materials, colourful visuals, and engaging activities to educate dietitians, children and their families about the importance of a nutritious breakfast. This project empowers the next generation to cultivate healthy habits that can last a lifetime.

Project Outcomes

The project is comprised of three key components:

  • Breakfast Toolkit – Kids Edition: Understanding the Needs of Children and Families.

We gathered insights to better support children and their families in making informed breakfast choices and cultivating healthy habits.
You can download it below.

  • Interactive Educational Materials – Social Media Posts:

We created engaging and colourful resources in the form of social media posts that encourage children to explore nutritious food options and participate in breakfast preparation.
These will become available at the EFAD Learning Platform on June 5th.

  • Breakfast Education Resources:

We collated educational content on breakfast science to empower families and dietitians in promoting healthy breakfast practices among children.
These will become available at the EFAD Learning Platform on June 5th.
