Each program begins with a story from the Parmesan Pig series that helps children explore emotions through familiar, caring characters. During guided readings, children learn how friends like Parmesan Pig, Marshmallow Mouse, and Taco Turtle navigate challenges such as friendship, confidence, and hope. Through interactive prompts and conversation, they begin to understand how empathy and self-awareness support emotional wellbeing.
The Parmesan Pig Wellness Workbook extends this experience, encouraging families to revisit the story’s lessons through monthly reflections, discussion questions, and creative activities that deepen emotional understanding long after the event.

Children and caregivers take part in imaginative art projects that turn emotional lessons into visual storytelling. Each child designs their own “food-animal” characters, such as Kiwi Koala or Olive Ostrich, and describes how one helps the other find happiness, courage, or calm. This hands-on creativity encourages communication, empathy, and self-expression in a safe and joyful setting.
The workbook continues this practice at home with drawing prompts, coloring pages, and gratitude exercises that build confidence and emotional vocabulary over time.

The program concludes with fun, story-themed movement activities that bring the Parmesan Pig stories to life. Children might stretch their arms and legs like Spaghetti Spider untangling his web, flap their wings like Celery Swan singing with joy, or stand tall like Lemonade Lion learning to use his strength with kindness. Each movement connects to a moment of growth from the stories, helping children link body awareness with confidence, balance, and emotional understanding.
The Parmesan Pig Wellness Workbook extends this idea with simple movement and breathing prompts that families can enjoy together. These activities remind children that taking care of their bodies helps their minds feel calm, focused, and strong. The workbook also introduces healthy eating choices inspired by the series, encouraging children to find balance in everyday life. For every Lollipop Ladybug this week, let's have five Strawberry Snails.
