ResumoO estudo avaliou o impacto de uma intervenção em educação nutricional sobre o conhecimento e atitudes de pré-escolares visando o estímulo de hábitos alimentares saudáveis e prevenção da anemia. Houve avaliação comparativa pré e pós-atividade educativa, com crianças entre 2 e 6 anos de idade, durante 12 meses. A metodologia de ensino foi baseada na aprendizagem por modelação, com personagens representando a anemia e os super-heróis ferro, vitamina C e a saúde. Foram utilizados reforçadores positivos visando sedimentação do aprendizado. Para mensurar a incorporação dos conhecimentos e aceitação das preparações com alimentos fontes de ferro e vitamina C, utilizou-se cartilha educativa e análise da satisfação quanto aos cardápios propostos. A maioria (62,74%) respondeu adequadamente sobre como combater a anemia, citando abordagens educativas utilizadas durante a intervenção. A baixa aceitação inicial das refeições caiu significativamente (p < 0,05). O desenho em estilo livre sobre os alimentos incentivados quintuplicou após a intervenção (14,7% para 76%). Concluiu-se que a utilização de uma metodologia lúdica associando super-heróis e reforçadores positivos apresenta impacto considerável na assimilação do conhecimento sobre alimentação saudável e seu efeito na saúde em crianças pré-escolares. Concluiu-se que a utilização de uma metodologia lúdica associando super-heróis e reforçadores positivos apresenta impacto considerável na assimilação do conhecimento sobre alimentação saudável e seu efeito na saúde em crianças pré-escolares. Palavras-chave: AbstractThis study measured the impact of the nutritional education's intervention on the preschool children's knowledge and actions, aiming both for a promotion of a healthy eating habits and for a prevention of iron deficiency anemia. There was a comparative evaluation before and after educational activities during 12 months in a kindergarten in the city of Fortaleza, CE. The education's methodology was grounded on learning through modeling, with characters representing anemia and superheroes representing iron, vitamin C and health. Positive reinforcements aiming learning sedimentation were used. To measure the rate of the knowledge absorption and the acceptance of the recipes it was used tools such as an educational booklet along with sensory analysis of the new menu's acceptance. The majority (62,74%) answered clearly about how to prevent anemia, referring about the approaches used during the intervention. The meals' rejection significantly dropped (p < 0,05). The freestyle drawing about the encouraged food quintupled after the intervention (14,7% to 76%).It was concluded that the use of characters from children's imagination and the positive reinforcements improved their learning, encouraging healthier eating habits.

“…Whereas recent reviews evaluate the process of nutrition interventions, the outcomes of nutrition programs, and the effectiveness of school‐based nutrition education programs using a health‐promoting schools (HPS) approach, there have been a scarcity of reviews that have focused on the availability and quality of resources that are accessible for elementary school teachers to use to support curriculum delivery or nutrition education programs. This is despite current research reporting that elementary school teachers often display low levels of nutritional knowledge, self‐efficacy and skills to effectively deliver nutrition education, and thereby a limited ability to use available resources to support the delivery of nutrition education programs …”
