The EFAD Breakfast Toolkit Project has been expanded to include a Kids Edition, specifically targeting children aged 6-12. This initiative aims to translate nutrient recommendations for breakfast into practical, fun, and engaging advice tailored for young individuals and their families. Building upon the foundation of the original project led by EFAD, this new edition The Kids Edition focuses on interactive materials, colorful visuals, and engaging activities to educate dietitians, children  and their families about the importance of a nutritious breakfast. This project empowers the next generation to cultivate healthy habits that can last a lifetime.

Background

Cereals Partners Worldwide set up the IBRI in 2016, a project led by recognized nutrition experts, to develop nutrient recommendations for a balanced breakfast, based on established daily nutritional guidelines and the observed nutritional contribution of breakfast.

Project Objectives

The EFAD Breakfast Toolkit Project aims to develop a Kids Edition toolkit that educates dietitians, children aged 6-12 and their families on creating balanced breakfasts, using the IBRI nutrient recommendations as a foundation. The project will be comprised of three key components:

 

  1. Understanding the Needs of Children and Families: Gather insights to better support children and their families in making informed breakfast choices and cultivating healthy habits.
  2. Development of Interactive Educational Materials: Create engaging and colourful resources that encourage children to explore nutritious food options and participate in breakfast preparation.
  3. Provision of Breakfast Education Resources: Distribute educational content on breakfast science through the EFAD learning platform to empower families and dietitians in promoting healthy breakfast practices among children.
