Beautifully crafted
Inside each box you receive an A3 pullout teaching children all about our Great Groceries. Each month the they learn where food comes from, when it’s in season but most importantly, how it helps the human body. This booklet is designed to teach children everything they need to know about food to encourage better eating habits for their future.
The Ultimate Guide
Inspired by the Eat Well Plate, The Great Groceries Guide takes key food groups and focuses on the health benefits of each one, encouraging children to try new ingredients for a healthy, balanced meal every day.
We have created fun, engaging characters with special powers that children can relate to. With 52 characters and counting, our family from around the world is growing. All of our recipes link these ingredients to the characters and their health benefits to help children connect with food in a different way.
Educational
Good mix of education and fun. Teaching the benefits of food and empowering children to try new ingredients without fear.
Memorable
Encourage long-lasting, healthy eating habits with our friendly characters to create memories which last a lifetime.
Unique
The first of their kind, engineered to positively influence children’s relationship with food in a language they understand.
Our Badges
We have made it easy for kids to remember each character’s superpower. Just look out for the little badge each one is wearing as it shows you what it is good for. It is a clever way of linking food with the body and gets kids thinking about food in a different way.
The Science...
Broken up into fruit and veg, protein, carbohydrates and dairy. We make it easy for kids to remember each character’s superpower and the food group it belongs to.
Green = fruit & veg.
Pink = protein
Yellow = carbohydrates
Blue = dairy.
Just look out for the little badge each one is wearing to tell you how it helps the human body.
The characters have been designed to educate children about the nutritional value of food and how it impacts our bodies. They are named so that children can relate to them on a more human level and they each have a special job which is enhanced by their ‘superpower’ so they create a connection between the health benefit and the real world application. For example: bananas are high in Potassium and are vital in nerve conduction, so Belinda Banana is an electrician.
We believe in inclusivity and smashing gender and racial stereotypes, so our characters are seen in a wide variety of jobs reflecting today’s society.
Education is a key focus in our boxes, so to encourage literacy skills we inspire children to write us a short story each month with the characters selected from our character profile. We start the story off with a sentence and it is up to the children to finish the rest. Each month we pick our favourite and ask Minh Mushroom to illustrate it for us.
