The Vegetable Circus offers several core classes that seamlessly weave body awareness skills, nutritional education and team building.
Hula Hoop Fun
In Hula Hoop Fun, children learn cool tricks with hula hoops as they develop motor skills, coordination, cooperation, and confidence while getting a healthy dose of exercise and nutrition education. Children explore the cultural origins of hula hooping, including Native American hoop dancing, learn tricks from professional hula hoopers, and innovate with their own creativity.
Food and Games
Vegetables and fruit come to life as food puppets
In Food and Games, children use fresh fruits and vegetables to create edible toys and art, while learning about their nutritional benefits and how and where they are grown. Children play games that develop communication skills, rhythm, motor skills, and fitness. This club is about having fun, enjoying delicious, healthy food, and learning through playing together.
