Adults and older teens often resolve to eat better in the new year. But how about younger kids?

If you have them, bring them along to the Kids Food Festival in New York City. This year, the annual event will be held on March 5th and 6th.

The Kids Food Festival was created to combat the very serious issue of childhood obesity in a fun and effective way. Kids engage all five senses through hands-on, food-related activities.

The magic of the experience is that the kids are having so much fun participating in the activities, they don’t realize how much they’re learning.

The festival is targeted to all children regardless of weight. Everyone needs to acquire better eating habits before bad habits catch up with them down the road.

Admission is FREE. For more information, head to KidsFoodFestival.com.

Located in midtown Manhattan, the festival is just a big block away from the theater district. Consider turning the day into a memorable family outing.
