Abstract:

Young children are taught basic knowledge about the importance of vitamins in school. However, there is so much information about vitamins that it can be overwhelming for the children to fully understand the topic and the important facts may not be retained in their memory. With this, the researcher came up with multimedia outputs that will provide visually engaging representations of the vitamins. The multimedia materials produced are an animated infomercial and activity book featuring character design of vitamin superheroes. A special event in a selected school was also held to promote the materials. The multimedia outputs were positively accepted by the students and were all rated as outstanding. The said materials can be utilized as an alternative method in teaching young children about the nutritional value of vitamins. These materials can also serve as reference to aid teachers, parents, and future researchers.
