carrots pears apples celery oranges milk grapes bananas

string cheese popcorn whole grain crackers peaches melon

pistachios hard boiled egg

To help you review this list with your child, you can have him or her help you put the above snack foods into the correct food group. Which snacks fit into each of the following categories?
