Family Cook Day: Rainbow Veggie Wraps

The crew lines up bowls of red, orange, green and purple vegetables.

"Today we roll a rainbow," says Ferris. "What do you notice about our bowls?"

Lucy the Ladybug counts them. "Four colors, and four friends to share!" she says.

Riley rolls up a napkin to show how. "Here is a hint," he says. "Tuck and roll tight."

  1. Eat lots of different, colorful fruits and vegetables.
  2. A tally mark counts one thing. Bundle by fives.
  3. A bar graph shows counts as bars. The tallest bar is the most.

  5. Water is a great drink with meals and snacks.

A grown-up handles the knife and does all the cutting today.
Check the tortilla label against your family's allergies before you start.
Let your child mash, spread, lay out the colors and roll.
