{Giveaway} Healthy Charts

This giveaway is now closed.  Congratulations to Tania R for winning this prize.

We are celebrating The Organised Housewife winning AusMumpreneur Best Blog 2011 with a few giveaways, this is the second giveaway for the week!!

This chart is made for children, but I secretly have been using it for myself recently too to keep me on track with healthy eating.  The kids have really enjoyed using it.  They all eat really well and eat most foods I put in front of them, however by using this chart I realised Miss 6 wasn’t drinking enough water or fruit, which is really important.

HealthyChart is a magnetic incentive chart for children that promotes eating a balanced diet, drinking plenty of water and getting enough exercise each day.

As the kids pack their lunch boxes in their bags they check what I have given them then added magnets for each food item onto the chart.  They have a ball doing this, similar to a game.  I have found Miss 6 is now enjoy eating a piece of fruit just so she can put on another magnet.

Teaching your children at an early age to eat healthy is essential.  Instilling good habits now will make a better future for them.  For more information on HealthyChart visit their website.

3 Fun way’s to get your children eating the correct foods and gain more magnets on their healthy chart:

  1. Create a shopping list specially for them to use on your next grocery visit.  Write on some foods they don’t like eating, this fun activity may prompt them to eat something they picked at the grocery store themselves.
  2. Sing songs when eating a particular food, On Top of spaghetti, Wiggles Fruit Salad Yummy Yummy or hot potato.  You will find HERE a list of songs all related to food.   
  3. When putting food on the plate, place it creatively, examples below

    I would love to win this my daughter who is 7 has started to write down when she does exercise and what she eats so she can see how much “bad” food and “good” food she eats :) I would love her to have something like this.

  • Shannon Musumeci

    I would love one of these charts because I have a fussy eater (who loves charts) and think that this would help her to eat healthier foods, especially fruits and veggies!!

  • Jamie

    I would like to win a Healthy Chart to make Healthy Eating fun for my Little one! And make it easier for me to know what is “good” and what is “bad” plus showing the daily serving sizes for age groups is fantastic, as it’s hard to tell what is enough and what is too much.

  • Nicole Mc

    I would love a magnetic chart to encourage my boy to eat healthier things – might help keep me on track too ;)

  • Melissa

    I would love a healthy chart! As a busy working & studying Mum with a 2yo & 4yo, and rheumatoid arthritis, it can be difficult to keep track of anything, much less ensuring how much fruit, veges & water our girls are consuming. A Healthy chart would make it so much easier for myself, my hubby & the girls to keep on track, and would be fun for the kids too!

  • Stephanie Donaldson

    I would love a Healthy Chart not just for the kids but for myself! I also think it would be great to encourage the kids to try new foods, they tend to be good eaters but will stick to the few favourite fruits and vegetables.

    I would love to win the Healthy Chart as i have a 14 month old baby (first baby) and im running out of ideas for meals for him and also a little unsure as to how much of everything he should be getting each day, like you i would also like to use it for myself to help me get healthier too, thanks :)

  • Gabby

    I would love the HeathlyChart as I’m a Family Day Educator with several families in my care, this resource looks great (better than my homemade one) and the families would be encouraged to eat and drink the same at home as the children do in the careenvironment. The children encourage the families to do this by showing their parents and grandparents their healthy choses for the day as they take the parents hand and show them the resource on the wall. I think it is a great idea you can keep on track! Gabby Clappison

  • Star Concepts – Olivia

    I would love this as it is such a great educational tool for little ones on what is good to eat. If I can instill this in my daughter whilst she is still young then hopefully for the rest of her life she will lead a happy and healthy lifestyle and pass it on to her children to. I love how bright and interactive it is. She would just love it. Thanks Olivia

  • Amee Bassili

    I am a full time mother of 5 between 3 & 8 y/o, and this would be perfect for me to encourage my older children to eat healthier, which then always encourages the younger ones to follow suit. 2 of my children are fussy eaters, so i think this is the incentive to get them to eat healthier, as i have found job charts and discipline charts have helped in the same way, with stickers.

    I would love to win a healthy chart, as it would be fun and educational for my nearly 2yr old son! And my 7yr old daughter i am sure would love it too :-)

  • Debbie Stoppa

    I would love to win one of these amazing charts to help my children ‘see’ what a great job they are doing. This would be a fabulus way to help encourage them to be healthier as well as teaching them about better choices. While they are still young it is the perfect time to get them into the habit of healthy eating.
    My children seem to do better when they have something visual and this would be an invaluable addition to our days, not to mention a huge help to me when it comes to getting them to eat well (something that they struggle with).
    What a great idea!!

    Im not able to comment on the blog post???

  • Rebecca Trounson

    Love, love, love this product! I’ve already liked their page before. I haven’t got a healthy chart, but I do it in my head most days like a crazy person. I would love to win one…I’m constantly worring about my Miss 2, if she’s getting enough goodies, she’s got numerous food allergies so it takes a bit of thinking about to get all the right stuff into her!

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=521401123 Helen Palmer on Facebook

    Same here…..how do we leave a comment on your blog? Many thanks!

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jessie-Boan/559317195 Jessie Boan

    My children (5, 3.5 and nearly 2) would respond really well to the clever visual prompts in the healthy charts. We try to get them to eat lots of different colours each day – and this would be a great incentive/prompt.

  • Hayleybradley

    I would LOVE to win a healthy chart as a busy single Mum I find it difficult not only ensuring my three year old and one year old eat healthy, but for me to set a good example for them.

  • Sally

    It looks like a fabulous way to get my 2-year-old to identify various foods, and want to eat them!

  • Reneemills90

    i think this would be perfect for me and my family especially as my child is just leanring the importance of healthy food and helps us keep on track

    I have 2 fussy eaters 4 & 2. I find it so hard to get them to try new food, this chart would be fantastic and I love that you can help them with how much water they are drinking. I think both my daughters would benefit so much from this chart. My 4 year old is starting to understand the concept of healthy eating but needs help to try new foods and i think if she was able to keep track her self it would be amazing!!

  • kaz

    being a part time student, part time worker and full time mum/wife/cook/etc it can be so hard to keep track of looking after yourself – and the kids, the hubby, the dog.. the healthy chart would be such a great addition to our family – it would help me out a great deal, and everyone else in the family!! afterall – how can you look after anyone else if you dont look after yourself!!!

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=544306294 Jonica Riedel

    I would love one for my 5 yo, He has become very aware of eating good foods and even made his own eating healthy reward chart lol!!! He would LOVE this and will keep the little one on track too :)

  • Rebeccawayne1

    My daughter is great at eating dinner but during the day all she wants to eat is junk. This chart I hope could help me to get her into a good eating habit during the day and just maybe she will stop asking me for lollies and biscuits all the time!

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Rebecca-Waugh/618252894 Rebecca Waugh

    Good nutrition is an invaluable lesson to teach at an early age. If they can get a good foundation when they are young, it will stick with them as they grow. (not to mention teaching the oldies in the family a lesson!!)

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=746857086 Gemma Stewart

    I’ll be honest, my son eats really well, it’s me that needs the reminder!

  • Shannon Vize

    Since being diagnosed with T1 diabetes my son has become a terrible eater, trouble is he must eat a well balanced diet that includes regular servings of carbs and free foods in between. I am constantly spending great lengths of time and trying new strategies to get him to eat. These charts are so visuaul abd bright, it may just do the trick!

  • Kelly

    I would love to win a chart. My twin 6yo boys need some incentive to see how much (or not enough!) fruit & veg they eat. I’m sure this would be a great visual incentive.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1248603436 Shannon VIze on Facebook

    This would be perfect to try and get my sons eating back on track! Commented on blog and fingers crossed! Good luck all!

  • Moniqueknight1

    I have started the whole healthy eating at home and it a big lifestyle change for my family, this would make eh transition for my kids not seem such a effort if I can’t make it fun for them. Love the sandwich ideas would have never thought of them, the ladies in the office love them also.

  • Kirrily

    Could THIS be my saving grace? My sanity remaining intact? OMG I completely lost it last night at my 5yo, 3.5yo and 22mo. What is there to not like about Sausages (Failsafe), pasta with melted cheese and carrots, corn and peas? Seriously! They are just such atrocious eaters. I am losing my mind, my patience, my tolerance, my EVERYTHING! Last night, it was so bad that I had to remove myself from the situation and demonstrate to my precious cherubs, putting myself in timeout because my behaviour was NOT acceptable! I just don’t know where my DH and I are going wrong with the whole eating dinner thing. You name it, we’ve tried it (unless it involves unhealthy food). We are big believers in Sue Dengate and the FED UP community, so my children are almost always offered meals that would not only be considered healthy but are homecooked and mindful that they do not contain or minimise where possible the ‘naughty numbers’. Today I am looking for solutions…could THIS be it??? Looks great! I THINK we may be in need of this chart!

  • Kristy McGeechan

    This would be fantastic for my 2 1/2 year old, he is becoming more knowing of everyday things and this would be perfect to teach him what we need to eat each day and encourage him with choices.

  • col

    wow what a great idea this is! I know it’s for kids but it would be great for the whole family to use (especially me as I’m not too good at keeping up with my fruit & water intake each day …)

  • Kerry-anne

    I love the FussyEatersMum’s blog. In fact she introduced me to the wonderful Organised Housewife :-)
    I have an ‘eating challenged’ 6.5yo boy, who I think could seriously give ‘The Fussy Eater’ a run for her money. We have sensory issues and a multitude of other issues to deal with, but the eating challenges have been the bane of my existence for 5.5 years now !!
    He responds to rules and charts, but I have not found one that engages him enough.
    I have a cupboard full of rejects now !! I have always been tempted to get this one and did see it a while back at an Upmarket and it looked great.
    Anyway – if not successful this time, I think I’ll just have to bite the bullet and buy this one.

  • Sarah

    It always a struggle at all meal times to get my daughter to eat healthy some times anything at all these sharts look so eye catching and fun im certain they would help her eat well and even get me and my husband eating better. I would love to win a chart!

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=673175444 Melissa Sweeney

    I love charts, it’s kind of my thing to keep organised and nothing would make me happier than to be able to keep my family super healthy with a new chart!

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=523417877 Erin Merrin on Facebook

    <3....is this where we comment? Healthy Charts will help soooo much in my house!!!

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=139805952720029 The Organised Housewife on Facebook

    no please comment on the blog. Some people are having troubles. i’m trying to fix it at the moment, if I don’t fix before school pickup will try again tonight.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=724533364 Erin Thompson on Facebook

    i can comment now :)

  • Tracy

    I would like the healthy chart for me as well as the kids. I constantly worry about what the kids eat and drink. And i would keep me on track with my eating and weight loss.

  • Katie L

    This is exactly what I am looking for for my 6 year old son! THis would be the perfect way to get him to understand and encourage him to eat a healthy diet. I love it!

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=716371086 Melissa Williams

    Oh goodness I would love one of these for my middle child! He is the fussiest eater *ever* and this looks like a fun way to encourage him in the right direction.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=521401123 Helen Palmer on Facebook

    Thanks- will try again when I get home :)

  • Kristen V

    I would love one of these! My almost 5yo boy is a great eater but I would love to start teaching him how to make healthy food choices for himself, as well as keep track for myself as there is only so much I can remember in a day! I’m always hearing ‘but Mum, I’ve already had an apple/orange/pear/yoghurt today!’, oops! It will also get a lot of use once our baby girl is old enough too. Thanks for the opportunity to win this Katrina, and well done on your win :-)

  • Alyce Ismail

    I’m running out of different ideas to feed Jonathan! He’s still a messy eater, so during the day I try not to give him anything too messy, and end up giving him vegemite sandwiches, cheese sticks and sultana bran buds… hmm, not much variety! I think something like this would provide ME with the visual cues to get some variety into his diet!

  • Natalie

    I would love to be able to cook my children something other than potato bake. It is the only thing I can serve that I know they will eat. My daughter is fanatical though about completing her reward chart so this would probably help us all!

  • http://happyhousewifey.transformingegg.com/ happyhousewifey

    Loved what you said about you secretly using it, because when I first saw these on your blog maybe a month ago I thought, “hmm.. I need this for ME!!!”. We’re the best role models for our kids, so i’d love this as a visual to prompt me, as much as to help teach my son’s healthy habbits!

  • Michelle Rayner

    These charts look like just the thing to keep my sons eating habits in balance. He is a carb boy, really, & this would help teach him about all the different food groups & what are acceptable amounts to eat each day.

    And lets face it – a visual reminder for *us* is always a good thing too!

  • TwoHands

    They teach a lot of things at school but healthy eating seems to be left to the parents to teach/argue/debate. Any help in teaching my kids about all the food groups is more than welcome!

  • Michelle

    My eldest who is 4 will not touch any fruit or veg….I mean ANY! He reacts like a piece of fruit will poison him. This is a great idea to be able to visually show him the importance of fruit and veg, as constant nagging is just not working (go figure!)

  • Kerryn Elliott5

    this looks like such a great idea that the whole family could use, and i would love to implement it in my newly formed family to teach our kids right from the beginning how to eat, drink and exercise properly and regularly…as mummy and daddy have only recently started this ourselves, so it would fit in perfectly with us :)

  • Khoneybrook

    A colourful, fun and interactive way to show my girls the importance of eating their vegetables which is a daily struggle at the moment!

  • Erin

    Oh, I would love to win this for one of my friends who has a DD3 who is terribly fussy, who will only eat chicken nuggets, honey sandwichs and vegie chips. I really think she would benefit from a visual guide and this is fan-tab-ulous!

  • Traceylbailey2011

    Brilliant idea. Everyone needs reminding now and then, & what a great way to encourage kids to get involved & be responsible for their own eating habits.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=702289752 Alison Davies

    I have 2 young children, my son is 4 and my daughter is nearly 2. 1/2. My son could chart what he eats and I know he would learn to enjoy eating healthy and learning about what foods are good for your body. AND as a added bonus my daughter would see what her big brother was doing and because she copies EVERYTHING he does she would want to eat healthy too. So in a way one chart would benefit both my children. (and maybe teach the grown up a thing or two)

  • Kellie Marsland

    What a wonderful tool for the entire family. I could see my 6year old girl in particular responding very well to this chart. A great positive way to encourage healthy eating. Just what I have been looking for :)

  • Tracey_patrick00

    Luv this idea. Fun way to get the littlies to learn the importance of good eating habits.

  • Tegan

    Wow its working now. It said before that we needed to slow down on the comments made me giggle. Thanks for the sharing this great idea and giving us the opottunity to win one

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Claire-Bailey/100000015778792 Claire Bailey

    I would love one of these so I can keep track of what and when my son is eating and drinking. Having a visual reminder like this would make it so much easier.

  • Tonyandvic

    I need one of these for Miss 5 and Master 3 because currently Little Miss 9mths eats a more varied, healthy and greater amount each day than her siblings! :)

  • Malinda Blair

    I need 4 healthy charts! One for each of the kids and one for ME!! Hard to track the fruit and veg my daughter and twin boys eat some days, often I forget about myself.

  • Koolsisters

    We would love one of these charts as I think my 3 year old could learn even more about healthy eating be seeing it and being involved in keeping track of what she eats. Great, bright fun charts :)

  • sunny

    Having a preteen girl and a little one this would be a great way of teaching them responsible choices and give them a visual tool to prompt them to make good choices…and it can be a healthy competition between the two of them lol

  • Amanda Hunt

    I’d love to win this. We grow our own veggies which does help with getting them to eat them but not all the time. This would encourage that even more!

  • Tania Robertson

    Hi, I’m a single mum who works 7 days a week and studies. (I often describe myself as a full time mum who just happens to be in the Air Force.)(I work 7 days a week so I am able to pick my son up from Prep each day and I make up the hours on the weekend) My life is crazy but it needs to be right now so I can ensure a secure future for my very independent and extremely intelligent 5 year old. He is my world.
    But I’m failing him. I just can’t seem to get him to eat and enjoy healthy food. I made him a reward chart for his behavior and he loves it and I know it works. Which is why I know a healthy chart will work. We would really love to win this prize. I hope everyone has a great day, and finds 2 minutes to make your child giggle xxxxxx

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Michelle-Rivett/1622379364 Michelle Rivett

    I’d love this chart to get me back on track. In my sons first few years I was very strict with his dietry needs, but now he is four and a half I have noticed I have become a bit more relaxed (a bit too relaxed!) and this would be a fun way to get back on track for both of us.

  • Sara LaBroad

    Wow what a fantastic idea! i had no idea these exsisted, i have the most fussy 5 year old to ever grace the planet, a chart like this might just do the trick!

  • Kirsty @ My Home Truths

    This is a wonderful idea! I struggle with my 7 y.o son to eat well (he has high-functioning autism and has bland and restricted tastes) so having a visual chart that he can also actively be a part of updating would be ideal. I also admit I do not know the correct dietary intakes for each age group so this would be very handy for me as well…!

  • Lynette

    Hi , I would love one of these for my son , he has Delayed Bone growth and we have had trouble with his eating since he was very young , he responds well with charts and this one is fantastic , I love love your blog and look forward to all the great hints and stories that you post . heres hoping I win …LOL Cheers Lynette

  • Amanda-collins

    With all the external pressures of being the perfect weight…I want my three girls to understand how to eat for their health, and not emphasize the less food-less weight concept that is so popular today.

  • Malinda

    I’ve been eyeing off these charts for a while now. My nearly 5yo has become a fussy eater and I want Her to see that she should be eatingbetter foods.

  • elissa

    When I came across these charts a few weeks back I was really impressed. Such a fantastic idea. I have two daughters. My 5 year old will only eat something if it is ‘healthy’ which is wonderful but try taking her to a party… My 2 year old on the other hand spits out anything that is not sweet. It’s a tough time at the dinner table at the moment and I imagine a healthy chart for each of the girls would help them to see the extremes of what they are eating.

  • http://www.retrowoman.com.au Julesmorrow

    I think education and incentive are the way to go with fussy eaters, the Healthy Chart provides both of these.
    I would love to give it a try!

  • Siti

    The Healthy Chart will be able to help to show all the good foods and hopefully it will make the kids want to eat more of it instead of the non-healthy foods.

  • Kimmy

    I think I any product that encourages children to eat well is fantastic and would ive to win so I can easily teach my children the importance of healthy eating.

  • Dorette

    Good morning! My oldest son (5) thrives on positive praise, acknowledgement of good behaviour and being made to feel like he is making good decisions; can contribute; help out and be responsible for things. This chart will be perfect. Not just for his diet & health, but also for his self esteem.

  • suz

    I have just done a massive overhaul of my cupboards and fridge getting my 2 boys involved in deciding what heathy and what’s not. This would help us in a huge way to keep track of their healthy intake. The boys will love looking at the chart and deciding their healthy foods to eat. I think it will help a lot with some “behavioral problems” we are having at the moment also :-)

  • Heather

    Hello! I think this is a great tool for encouragement of healthy eating habits as well as exercise. I’ve been looking at buying these charts to encourage good decision making however finances are not easy to come back at the moment with my husband being currently out of work. Would be great appreciated to recieve one for free so that I can still help my son make good choices through positive reinforcement.

  • Jane

    Good morning Katrina, another great giveaway offer (congrats on the AusmumPreneur win!). I’ve just been diagnosed with high cholesterol and it has made us as a family realise that although we eat very little junk food we are eating the wrong amounts of the right foods! My 5 yr old is very aware of good and bad foods, but I can’t help thinking we could do with a little help and a chart would reinforce that I think. Been thinking of making one of my own up actually. Good luck everyone :-) (just read that back … sorry about all the ‘thinks’!!!)

  • Helen P

    My just turned 7yo daughter has just started to make and pack her own lunch so a Healthychart would be fantastic for us as she loves to make sure she takes a healthy and tasty lunch to school. She would also enoy making sure her little brother, Mum and Dad are also eating healthy food!

  • Corinne

    This would be great for helping educate both myself and my 2 year old! Thanks for the chance to win!!

  • Cathy

    What a fabulous idea for everyone in the family including myself as a grand mother – often giving snacks & meals to the little ones in my life – this will reinforce that I am doing the healthy option.

  • Lauren

    What a great idea,it is hard sometimes to keep track of what your little ones eat, this is one way of keeping track, and to educate both myself and my little one.

  • Stacey

    what a great idea! not only for myself but my fussy 4 year old, which i have to hide fruit and veg in to get him to eat any!

  • Emmycam

    Being coeliacs, it’s sometimes easy to go for the high sugar, fast option – it’s harder to think “inside” our coeliac box. So something like this, which is fun, easy and really functional would be very utilised in our house! And magnets are so much fun! Great idea. ;-)

  • Melly

    What a great idea! With 3 little boys we are kept very busy and I know we don’t eat enough of the good stuff. A simple, instant way of seeing what is going into our mouths each day would definately improve our diets. Being bright and attractive, I’m sure the boys would enjoy eating more fruit and vegetables so they can “play the game.”

  • Erin

    What an awesome giveaway! With two very fussy little girls who love their carbs and not much else (they think plain boiled rice is a treat!) this would be great to have in our house.

  • Cass

    Fantastic giveaway! I struggle to get my kids to drink enough water throughout the day. This chart/system seems the perfect way to get them drinking their way to a healthier lifestyle.

  • Merlindie Fardone

    Look forward to using this chart with our family, the boys will be very excitied to see what they will / should be eating on any given day.

  • Agjeffrey

    This chart is a fantastic idea, to help get my daughter more involved in what she’s eating and putting in her little body! It would be fantastic for myself aswell:)

  • Mel_proctor76

    Wow what a great idea, encourages children & even adults to take responsibility for what they are eating & putting into their bodies, helps them visualize what & how much they are eating. A trait that stays with you for life, making for a healthy well balanced child & then a healthy successful well balanced adult

    My 8mo DD is getting into the eating solids thing, and I’d love to encourage her right from the word go to eat a healthy, balanced diet. This visual chart would be an excellent way to achieve that! And hmmm, yes, I would definitely be using it too!

    I think this would save my life! I have an extremely fussy 4yo and i think this would make it alot easier to get her to try and to eat healthier foods, We struggle every single day :(

    i thought i was giving the kids a nice balanced diet, ok we don’t have vegetables every night, we do a weekly junk food night (sometimes it is home made burgers and chips etc but still our junk food night) this week the primary school decided it was healthy week for the kids, set them challenges to get outside and active for the kindy kids (NSW Kindy is first year of primary school) and for the yr 6 class they had to keep a one page journal of their vegetable and fruit intake as well as their physical activity. I had to sign off on both sheets… EPIC FAIL… not only did the kids not get enough fruit or vegetables this week, they missed their bus on one day so spent the afternoon sitting inside my dads business watching television until he finished work and could bring them home at 6pm!!! then we visited my grandmother so they spent the afternoon sitting in the loungeroom entertaining her.
    It is my mission next week to ensure they get their 2 serves of fruit a day (for the Yr 6 stuent this is hard as he doesn’t really eat any fruits!) and their min of 5 veg… this chart would help me note down the veg the kids have had and pinpoint some of the foods i should and could hide veg in to get intake up.

    The charts look great would love to try them out on my two children.

  • Robyn Hutchins

    OMG, what a great product. Perfect for reminding me what I should be eating to lose this baby weight :)

  • Michelle K

    My DD11 has 4 hours of dance lessons a week, and I think this would be a fantastic way to help her realise how much good food she should be eating to replenish what she dances!

  • Pjmjbartel

    I need order in my life- and I am hoping by these helpful charts, the kids will learn a respect for order. A great idea! Congrats on the blog win!

  • Shandi

    These would be a great way to encourage my very fussy toddler to eat better,and for my 5 yr old to understand about the choices he is making.

  • Waywad

    I would love one of these for my kids. I always wory that they are not getting what they need and my 4 year old is vey interested in healthy eating

  • Rachel A

    We are struggling to keep our almost 5 yr old twins weight under control. This would be such a great way of helping us and helping them. It’s so difficult to achieve a balance between trying to ensure that eat well and also trying not to make a big deal out of weight issues and make them overly concerned. The healthy chart could be just the trick!

  • sherman99

    My son doesn’t drink enough water either. I would love one of these so we can track it and he can see how much he is having!

  • Nikki

    as a working mum with two direct selling businesses I would love this to encourage the children to eat a little more adventurously, Thomas really responds well to this type of encouragement so I hope we win the chart it could change all of our lives for the healthier!!

  • Malinda

    what’s not to like about these charts….would put the onus on the kids to make sure they are eating the right things!

  • Josie

    Kids love ” tangible” examples/demonstartions of things and this health chart is an awesome way to teach them the values of healthy eating!! with 4 kids in the house ( and a hubby with a penchant for “unhealthy” food) this chart would go down a treat – they might even teach dad a thing or two!

  • Carrie

    I would love this chart to be more accountable for what food my two boys are eating, and at the same time, to encourage them to try new foods by rewarding them when they eat food other than the standard carbs/fruit that is normally consumed in our house.

  • Zoeanne21

    A great Visual reminder for kids and parents alike… I know I need reminding!!!

  • Emily Smith

    After a substantial age gap between my now middle child and my youngest who is 9 months I have realised that while the kids are eating their veggies they are unlikely to be reaching their quota for the day. I believe that this chart will bring some fun & incentive into healthy eating in our home and encourage a balanced diet.

    I want my children to have the independence to make their own choices when it comes to food. To know when we need to eat healthly and when it is okay to have a treat

  • Bluepurplemoon

    I need to start leading by example so to start this chart would be for me – the kids can get one later! I’ve recently lost significant weight on the Dukan diet but during the weightloss stage fruit and vege are not consumed daily. I need to get my kids seeing how it should be done. Fantastic idea!

    My 4yr old has always been a fussy eater, we successfully toilet trained him with a rewards chart, and have given him a chores chart also. I never thought of a food chart before and this just might be what he needs to start eating better.

  • Sarah

    I would love to win this as it would be a fantastic visual aid for my kids who are on the autism spectrum. This would help them to learn the right food choices.

  • Sam

    I would love a Healthy Chart!! I have a little 5 year old who loves to eat fruit and salad but not so much vegies and he can be a bit “excessive” with what he likes so the idea of visually showing him the variety he needs to have is fantastic.
    Great idea!!

    I would love a Healthy Chart! My daughter is only 19 months old but I would love to start her off properly! It also would probably help for me :)

  • Samantha Savva

    Even though we are vegetarians in our household it is still daunting to know we are getting enough of the RIGHT foods and nutrients. This will allow me to keep our healthy habit going while ensuring we are not neglecting any of the important nutrients like iron or potassium or even calcium. Just because I think I am eating healthy does not mean I am.

  • Anna

    I would love this particularly for my four year old. I have found my 10 year old started out really well & they both pretty much do eat everything that is put in front of them but as the ten year old grew older they stopped eating things like cheese, variety of fruit & yoghurt whereas my four year old does eat all these things now & I would like to really encourage him to continue to do so & I believe a tool such as this would help.

  • Tanya Van Elst

    This chart would help our whole family, particularly my stepdau 7 to keep on track with her healthy eating and my 2 y/o who processes things better with visual aids and is a VERY picky eater :-) As a Speech Pathologist I’m a big fan of the visual reminders!!!! Great idea and thanks to The Organised Housewife for sending me over.

  • Patricia Ledwich

    A HealthyChart would be would be great for my children to teach them what is healthy to eat setting up a good healthy lifestyle for the rest of their life and with the chart they can see themselves and make choices.

  • Mal

    Looks great. May help Master 5 drink at school. Thanks Organised Housewife!!

  • Laura Vince

    We are going through a very fussy stage with our 2 year old daughter,& she is VERY independent! Having this chart would encourage her to eat healthy food,I know she would feel very special having such a bright,fun & colourful chart to look at every day!

  • Cheryl

    I would love this for me! Added bonus of encouraging the kids to and hubby to eat well too! Love the food art

  • Kirrily

    I’d love these charts for my boys. They’re both fairly good at eating a wide range of healthy foods, but my older boy has a very big sweet tooth, and I get fed up constantly having to redirect him to a healthier option. It would be great to indulge his passion for magnets and get him to eat more healthy snacks, wihout the constant requests for a sugary treat!

  • Luisa McCauley

    I love the chart. I would love one for the whole family to use more veges for all of us would be great.Anything to make it easier to get my children to eat more veges is a bonus the chart would be a big help> Thanks..

  • Luisa McCauley

    Sorry, I’m to late:(

  • Mal

    Who won??

  • Janelle

    My son loves to snack! This would help him to make healthier choices! : )

  • Yvette

    I would love one of these not only to encourge my kids to try new foods but also so I can see just how much they are supposed to have of each. Plus it would definately be a bonus for hubby and I to learn to eat healthily too.

  • Kathryn

    Healthy Charts would be a great tool to not only encourage the kids to eat healthy but remind the parents exactly what the kids should or are eating.

  • melissa

    dd no.1 is a great salad and veggie consumer…but dd no.2 would rather go to bed hungry!!!

  • Katrina Corbett

    Having to change what my son eats because of his beahavour issues this would be pefect in our house!

  • Michelle Holmes

    These look like a great way to teach my fussy children to eat, and be healthy to boot!

  • Samuel Ferguson

    Have a new baby sisters, I could give an educational big brother gift!

  • Emily

    My two girls would love this, my almost 4 year old is always asking what is healthy and what is not, this would be a great way for her to keep track of what she’s eating.

  • Jodi Geard

    I have 3 young children 2,4 & 6 years. My 4year old boy doesnt eat! Sausages and sandwiches are his limit. I worry about his health. I think these charts would be a fantastic insentive and a colourful learning tool for him. Thanks love your site. Jodi.

  • Leanne

    This would complement what my nearly 4 year old is learning in pre-school about healthy eating!

  • Lisa Fairbridge

    I would love this because as a mum of 4 kids aged 17 months to 11 years it isnt always easy to make sure my kids are getting the right amount of serves per day so this is a great way to track it. Plus my daughter 3 learnt to use the toilet with the aid of a sticker chart so this would definately help her eat more vegetables which is a problem for her for some reason. Fruit no problem, veges she picks at veges. She likes all veges but she just nibbles at them

  • Katya

    I have two little girls 3 and 5 who would learn a lot from this, both are picky eaters and the younger one will hardly eat her vegetables, no matter how they are hidden, this will be perfect for them to learn, play and eat well. Love it!

  • Kristie-Lee Kolbee

    I would love to win this because, my twins will be 3 in November, but they are always wanting to eat “sometimes” foods. I think this chart will help them in knowing what is an “everyday” food and what is a “sometimes” food.

  • Michelle O’Callaghan

    I would love to win a chart. Both my boys have dyspraxia and oral defensiveness, so getting them to eat healthy is mostly a chore. This looks like heaps of fun!! =)

  • angela arthur

    orginbsation health and motivation are huge in our house this would really really help the whole family out xx

  • Samantha

    I’d love one of these! Miss Olive isn’t a great eater maybe this chart could change that!

  • http://www.giftsofserendipity.com Felicity

    My three [almost four] year old niece is a clever cookie and although we talk about healthy foods as being ‘Big Girl 5′ foods [ie: the ones that will make you big and strong like a five year old] I think a brilliant chart like this would really help to lock in her concept of what is healthy and how much healthy food she should be eating each day.
    She also loves lists, so I can see this whole system being right up her alley.

  • Amy stevenson

    i would love one of these charts to help teach my son about the importance of eating healthily and to encourage the whole family to eat right

  • Karen Hall

    I would love this so my nearly 5 year old daughter can see what food and how much she needs to eat and what a bright chart to record it all on. Also a great way to introduce new fruit and vegetables. The great thing about this chart it looks like I could then use it for her 2 younger brothers.

  • Fiona Stoddart

    With 4 children any help I can get to educate them on healthy eating is a blessing. Particularly for mr very fussy 4! I do think this would be a very useful tool in my home :)

  • Allannah McConville

    I would love a healthy eating chart for myself and my husband as in today’s world it is just so easy to lose track of what healthy food you have or haven’t eaten and it is a fun way of keeping on top of it all!!! I LOVE IT!! especially the fact that it is not just for little kids but big kids too!
