Pengenalan gizi seimbang sejak usia dini merupakan langkah penting dalam membentuk perilaku makan sehat yang berkelanjutan. Kegiatan pengabdian ini dilaksanakan di PAUD-TK Villa Beta dengan tujuan mengenalkan konsep gizi seimbang dan Isi Piringku kepada anak usia dini melalui pendekatan yang menyenangkan dan sesuai tahap perkembangan mereka. Metode pelaksanaan pengabdian ini menggunakan pendekatan edukatif dan partisipatif yang disesuaikan dengan karakteristik anak usia dini, dengan menekankan strategi learning by doing agar anak dapat belajar melalui pengalaman langsung. Kegiatan diawali dengan penyuluhan interaktif menggunakan cerita sederhana, kemudian dilanjutkan dengan praktik pembuatan makanan dan minuman sehat, yaitu sandwich isi sayuran, sandwich buah serta susu dengan pewarna ekstrak bunga telang dan madu. Suasana kegiatan dirancang hangat dan interaktif agar anak terlibat aktif dan merasa nyaman saat belajar. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa anak-anak tampak antusias dan dapat memahami pesan gizi yang disampaikan. Wawancara dengan guru menunjukkan bahwa kegiatan ini memberi inspirasi untuk pembelajaran tematik yang lebih kontekstual dan menyenangkan. Edukasi gizi berbasis praktik nyata melalui pendekatan learning by doing terbukti mampu meningkatkan literasi gizi anak sejak dini.
