Healthy vs Unhealthy Food Coloring Worksheet
This printable coloring worksheet helps young children talk about healthy foods and foods we eat only sometimes. It is simple, visual and easy to use with preschool, Pre-K and Kindergarten learners.
Children observe the food pictures, color the page, and begin to sort foods into two broad groups: everyday foods that help the body grow, and treats or processed foods to limit.
Boy version
Girl version
What the worksheet contains
The resource includes two child-friendly versions: one with a boy and one with a girl. Each page shows different foods so children can start a simple conversation about balanced eating.
Learning goals
This worksheet is not meant to give children a strict diet lesson. It is a gentle starting point for discussion, vocabulary and observation.
How to use it
Teacher tip: keep the tone positive. The goal is to build awareness, not guilt. Children can learn that all foods can be discussed, but some foods help the body more in everyday life.
