Gyeonggi Province to Hold 125 Performances of Puppet Show for Children's Dietary Habit Improvement

Gyeonggi Province will sequentially hold "Children's Dietary Safety Education" puppet shows in 30 cities and counties within the province through the end of this year.

This educational program targets children aged 3 to 7 and is presented in the form of a musical puppet show that combines play and song. It is designed to help children easily and enjoyably learn the importance of dietary safety.

The first performance was held on May 21 at the Banwol Art Hall in Pocheon, and a total of 125 performances are scheduled through December, concluding at the Guri Art Hall.

The featured show, "Peter Pan Has Changed," covers healthy eating habits such as eating a balanced diet, preventing picky eating, proper handwashing, reducing consumption of highly seasoned foods, and taking only as much food as one can eat. The story is crafted to help children immerse themselves in Peter Pan's story and easily understand the importance of health.

Gyeonggi Province plans to enhance the educational effect by providing activity sheets for experiences such as coloring and sticker activities after the performance.

Additionally, the province will encourage children to put into practice in their daily lives what they have learned from the performance.

Institutions or daycare centers wishing to participate can check the performance schedule and apply through their local Children's Foodservice Management Support Center. For areas where it is difficult to attend in person, non-face-to-face educational materials will also be provided. These materials will be distributed through each city's or county's Children's Foodservice Management Support Center and can be used by parents and teachers at home or in educational settings.

Gyeonggi Province expects that this puppet show will help foster healthy eating habits among children and contribute to creating a safe meal environment.
