Its actions are based on different educational and pedagogical approaches that foster dialogue and a reflection on aspects related to food and nutrition throughout the life of individuals. OBJECTIVE: To present a the lived experience with the application of recreational-pedagogical activities in Food and Nutrition Education (EAN) for preschoolers of an educational institution. METHODOLOGY: This is a qualitative experience report that describes the development of a nutritional intervention project through Food and Nutrition Education (EAN) activities, called "Nourishing the Knowledge" ("Nutrindo o Saber"), carried out in a private school located in the urban area of the municipality of Visconde do Rio Branco, state of Minas Gerais, during the period from August to October 2017. Nine meetings were held at the school, each lasting 60 minutes. The used teaching methods included expositorydialogic classes, culinary workshops, sensory evaluation practices and puppet theater, so that the educational process happened in a dynamic and bilateral way. In all activities, the Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian Population was used as theoretical reference. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The sample consisted of 56 preschoolers and students from 2 to 7 years old. At the end of the activities, the parents or guardians were asked, through a questionnaire, if these activities were enough to change the eating habits of the children, 85,70% answered positively. The Food and Nutrition Education (EAN) when worked in a playful way, in addition to bringing the scientific knowledge closer to the childhood universe, also accelerates the learning process by providing participation opportunities for the target audience, demystifying a theory in which the learner is the receiver and the educator is the source of the knowledge. In order to make as pleasant activities both for the educator and for pupil, it was sought to establish an affectional bond between them during the nutritional education actions.
