This fun and practical workshop is designed to empower kids with gluten intolerance to participate in meal planning and preparation. Kids will learn which foods contain gluten, where to look on labels for gluten information and what key words to look for, and then they will apply that knowledge by shopping for gluten-free ingredients in the PCC store. Our goal is to help kids work towards self-sufficiency and to become proactive in their own care.

This workshop is intended for children aged 6 to 10 years old. Parents are welcome.

Schedule:
Introduction (10 minutes)
Lesson: What is Gluten and Where Do I Find It? (15-20 minutes)
