Empowering children and families to build a healthier future

Food Art Workshops for EYFS, KS1 & KS2

Ever wondered what happens when food and art collide? The results may surprise you!

Yes, children are exposed to 30+ fresh fruits, vegetables, and wholefoods, and yes, they get to create their own edible masterpieces. But the real magic happens in their understanding of how food fuels their bodies and minds.

Our workshops are designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and confidence around healthy eating. Through play, exploration, and hands-on food experiences, children learn about:

🍏 The gut microbiome – the ‘magical’ world inside them and how to keep it thriving.
🥕 The power of food – how their choices impact their energy, mood, and concentration.
🍓 Supercharging school lunches & snack times – what can they add to fuel their school lunches? More fruit? Eat all their veggies? Children understand they have the power to make excellent choices with the food that school has to offer.

Engaging & Inclusive – Every child can take part, our sessions suit all styles of learning.

Immediate Impact – Teachers tell us children are calmer, more focused, and engaged for the rest of the school day.

Hands-On Learning – We bring food education to life in a way that sticks.

Fully Curriculum-Linked – Covering DT, Art, Science, and PSHE, our workshops can be tailored to your current topics, whether it’s artists, authors, Romans, rainforests, or local history.
