Gregory the Terrible Eater

Language: English | Español

This is a spirited story about Gregory, a goat that is a very picky eater. He refuses to eat the usual goat diet and his parents become very worried. In the video LeVar explores how people as well as animals need a nutritionally balanced diet. Join him on a fun-filled trip to the San Diego Zoo, Billy and Nanny’s Barnyard Cafe and visit with a famous New York chef.

Here are activities to do after watching this episode:

Gregory Puppets

What you will need:

• Brown paper lunch sack
• Yarn and paper scraps
• Crayons and/or markers

Using the brown paper bag as the puppet, have your child decorate the bottom of the sack as a character.

Decorate with recycled scraps of paper, yarn, string, etc., to create just the personality your child would like.

 

Kid Snacks

You will need:

• 1 box “Crispix” cereal
• 1 (12 oz.) pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips
