Healthy Discoveries
Learning Through Buddy's Adventures
Buddy loves discovering new things — and he loves sharing them too. Alongside the colouring, his stories introduce simple, age-appropriate ideas that parents and children can talk about together.
What Buddy discovers
Fruits and vegetables
Fruits and vegetables come in every colour of the rainbow — perfect for colouring! Eating a variety of different colours helps give our bodies lots of different goodness.
Vitamins
Vitamins are tiny helpers found in food. Vitamin C, found in oranges, strawberries and peppers, helps keep our bodies healthy. Carrots contain beta-carotene, which our bodies turn into vitamin A.
Minerals
Minerals help our bodies grow and work properly. Calcium, found in milk, cheese and yoghurt, helps build strong bones and teeth. Iron, found in foods like beans, lentils and leafy greens, helps carry oxygen around the body.
Healthy food choices
A balanced plate with fruit, vegetables, starchy foods and protein — plus plenty of water — gives children energy to play, learn and explore, just like Buddy.
Nature and the world around us
Gardens, flowers, bees, butterflies, snow and stars: Buddy's adventures are full of the natural world, inviting children to notice and ask questions about what they see.
