If you have not yet seen the Massachusetts SNAP-Ed mascot, meet Broc! Broc is a happy little stalk of broccoli and has been around for six years this month, which calls for a celebration. If you explore this website, you will see Broc scattered all around talking about healthy eating and moving your body. In honor of Broc’s birthday, we are showcasing some of the MA SNAP-Ed website.
Broc appears most frequently on the Just for Kids page. There, you will find Broc demonstrating yoga poses, hosting a supermarket scavenger hunt, and suggesting books for kids of all ages. All of these activities can be downloaded on a computer and easily printed. There are also coloring book pages where you will see Broc in a variety of activities. He plays basketball, visits the farmers market, and goes sledding. These coloring pages can also be easily printed. Explore this space with your kids to try some new activities. Additionally, Broc occasionally shows up in Blog Posts on this website. Blogs discuss topics around eating well, staying active, and celebrating cultures and lifestyles throughout Massachusetts. Check those out to learn even more about healthy living.
