Food for Health — Rhymes — Bottle Gourd
Harmonizing health & biodiversity, our melodic food for health rhymes initiative can ignite kid’s love for diverse foods in a fun and engaging way.
Bottle Gourd — The grand gourd of gracious goodness!
Recognizing that children’s limited diet impacts both their health and the planet’s biodiversity, we propose to foster a love for diverse foods through the universal language of music. We created nursery rhymes each featuring a different food item, set to familiar tunes. We hope these rhymes will not only educate children about the nutritional benefits of various foods but also stimulate demand for diverse crops, ultimately contributing to biodiversity.
This initiative promises a fun, engaging way to cultivate healthier habits in children while safeguarding our planet.
Bottle Gourd — The grand gourd of gracious goodness!
Tune: “Mary Had a Little Lamb”
🎵 **Bottle Gourd**, long and green,
A veggie that’s super keen.
It’s crunchy and fun to eat,
Makes our meals a healthy treat.
🎵 Packed with vitamins and minerals too,
Helps us grow strong, it’s true.
