Wacky Waffles

Wacky Waffles is a set of five lessons designed to teach youth in grades 3-8 about safe food preparation and handling practices, as well as what is a healthy MyPlate for their age and activity level. 

In the series, youth experiment with foods and build a meal that can be cooked in a waffle iron. These lessons can be used individually to teach specific skills or all together for a full-day program in an after-school program, 4-H club, day camp or any educational setting.

Lesson time: Five lessons at 30 to 90 minutes each
