How to Do the Quest

In each planned aisle, notice one food color and write or draw it without touching items you will not buy.
- 3
Choose three colors and invent a pretend recipe name, such as the Green Crunch Rainbow Bowl, without claiming it is a real recipe.
- 4
After shopping, draw the recipe as three picture panels showing color, ingredient idea, and a made-up serving scene.
- 5
Share the storyboard at home and name one real food from the trip that you would like to help prepare safely another day.
Quest Challenge
