For Nutrition Month in March, the Chesapeake Children's Museum presented Recipe for Action! Each of the 4 weekly blog posts were put together for young children to learn about healthy choices, including nutrition, activities & lifestyle habits. The blog was put together in a cute book-like format and titled: Benny's Book of Healthy Choices for Kids. Benny is a coverall wearing busy beaver.
