Nutrition education for children aged 5-6 through storytelling activities in preschool

Abstract

This article aims to propose nutritional education measures for 5- to 6-year-old children through storytelling activities in preschool. This research applies methods of data processing, analysis, conversation, and observation. The results show that stories are a useful tool that teachers can use to integrate nutrition education for children if teachers clearly establish goals regarding knowledge, skills, attitudes, and goals, select details of the story to coordinate with visual aids, and adjust them to suit the goals to be achieved and the child’s understanding capacity.
