The intervention consisted of 20-min educational sessions, once a week, for 5 weeks, with one of the following randomised educational strategies: Portuguese Food Wheel Guide (control), digital game, storybook, storybook and reward (stickers). All groups had repeated exposure to vegetables in all sessions. A pre- and post-test were conducted to determine vegetable intake, and a 6-month follow-up was realised.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1368980021004456_as3\"><jats:title>Setting:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Preschools of Leiria district, Portugal.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1368980021004456_as4\"><jats:title>Participants:<\/jats:title><jats:p>A sample of 162 children aged 3 to 6 years.
