Want your kids to love fruit and veg? Know you should try to build their familiarity with foods away from the table so mealtimes can be more fun, but don't really know where to start and don't want to waste food?
The Foodies is there with stories, activities, games, tasting and suggestions to help your fussy eater or your little foodie to build their confidence with food and their understanding of how foods grow and what's in season.
We have a lot of free information to help your little ones to love fruit and veg at our education site thefoodies.org
We also sell products to help such as books set in a veggie patch, colouring books, subscription boxes and lots of activities too. They make great and unusual gifts and often last a whole year!
There is a book for each month of the year, where a fruit or vegetable character has an adventure. All of the characters, scenery and weather are in season for that month of the year. Each book contains a lovely story, some facts about the star fruit or veg (written by children) and a recipe for little hands to cook.
So children gradually associate foods with the time of year that they are tastiest, most nutritious, best for the environment AND cheapest! And reading these charming stories over and over builds their familiarity with those foods away from the table so they are more likely to accept them when they turn up on their plate. For families who like to grow and cook these books can enhance those activities and help children to feel connected to those fun food activities by reading their stories.
We also offer a Classic Subscription pack containing the book of the month and some activities through the post, and a bumper Subscription box with ten activities, seeds and recipes.
We are open throughout the year online at www.thefoodiesbooks.com and we provide lots of free food activities on our education site thefoodies.org
