when mealtime becomes playtime, a love for food lasts a lifetime

We want to create a world where every little one has the opportunity to grow up happy + healthy. That's why we're encouraging all little ones to play with their food! Because we know that when they play, explore and have fun with food using all their senses, that's when they become more willing to try new foods...and even learn to love them!

do n't play with your food!

Little ones learn by playing with the world around them, so why should the fun stop when it comes to food? We know that exploring food with all the senses in a happy, calm + fun environment, develops little ones' confidence + curiosity, helping them to reeeally enjoy the experience and become more willing to try new foods, like fruit + veg.

Sensory food play can even help little ones overcome a fear of new foods and stop them from becoming fussy eaters when they're older.
