Foodie Fun Play!

🍅🥦 Foodie Fun Play!

Can you play with fruits and vegetables? Absolutely!

Foodie Fun Play! is a hands-on science adventure designed to help young children explore fruits and vegetables through fun, creative play. Perfect for curious little eaters aged 3 to 8, this unique event blends storytelling, science, and sensory experiences to make healthy foods exciting.

The fun begins with a lively 30-minute science storytelling show where kids learn about different fruits and veggies, what makes them good for our bodies, and why eating the rainbow helps us feel strong, fast, and full of energy.

Then it’s time to play!
