This week we made homemade pizza.  We made the dough by mixing flour, oil and water together. Then we chopped onions, peppers, tomatoes, chicken and mushrooms for the topping.

We kneaded the dough and rolled out our pizza bases. Then we added some tomato puree and choose our favourite toppings. We put them in the oven to cook.

While the pizzas were cooking we played some games.

Then we got to taste our pizza. Everyone agreed they were very tasty.

The Dundee Healthy Living Initiative and Leisure and Culture Dundee are working together on the Eat Well Play Well project. Eat Well Play Well is a nutrition and play programme that has been developed for parents with children aged 0–5 years. The project will support community groups and voluntary organisations to become leaders in nutrition and play and help individuals to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

Cooking Skills and Nutrition Information:

• Provide participants with basic cooking skills with the aim of increasing confidence, skills and knowledge to plan and prepare a home cooked meal for their family on a budget.
• Lead participants in nutrition based activities to improve practical knowledge and confidence around making healthy food choices.
• Nutrition topics covered – healthy snacks, oral health, portion size, food labelling, happy meal times.

Physical Activity:

• Encourage adults and children to take part in activity.
• Make participants aware of the importance of play in the early years of a child’s life.
• One hour of physical activity per day will keep children active throughout the week.
• Activities to explore throughout the programme – messy play, sensory play, sport related games, soft play games, ball games, running games, colour games, number games and lots more.
