Chickin Feed Nutrition Tracking Board Specs.
What do you get for $30?
They measure 8.5" x 14" (think legal size piece of paper).
They are made of 24 gauge galvanized metal
(see caution note at left).
The corners have rounded edges for safety.
There is a magnet on the back and holes in the top
so the board(s) can easily hang out in your kitchen.
They come complete with a full set of magnets for tracking - so, you are good to go.
We recommend one board per child - so that they can take ownership of their good eating habits - but having one per family will help too!
The Chickin Feed Tracking Board
It's the "big idea" that started the Chickin Feed brand. I wanted a better way to keep up with what my family was eating so, I took one of the most basic ideas about nutrition - the "Food Pyramid"- broke it down into component parts. Then I designed it so that we didn't mind looking at it each day. We put it on our fridge where we could see it each time we were making a choice about what to eat and voila, the Chickin Feed Nutrition Tracking Board was hatched.
"The board references amounts from the different food groups with tips on portion sizes so it can be adapted to any diet or cultural eating preference. It keeps track of ONE day so you can start fresh every morning (no guilt allowed!). The board also seems like a game to my children. Hey, if I can get them interested in what they are eating and prompt some discussions about healthy eating, then I believe they will make better choices as they grow!" - Leslie Smith Grant, President & Mother Hen
CAUTION: These boards are made of a thin piece of metal (so that the little chickin magnets will hang on) and they weigh about a pound. If you have active chickins who might want to pull their boards off the fridge, we recommend fixing it securely to the wall using the holes at the top. The magnet on the back holds well but once released the boards can fall and we don't want any hurt toes! CHOKING HAZARD – Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
