What’s cuter than a basket of berries?! A tiny human willfully collecting berries in their tiny basket!

Tiny Food Explorers is fueled by celebrating children’s insatiable appetite to explore and be curious! By involving kids in the grocery shopping process, we help guide them towards healthier options while empowering them to make their own decisions. Allowing kids to make their own choices helps get them excited about food! Getting kids used to reading the ingredients is a wonderfully healthy habit to build that will last a lifetime; and help guard them against the barrage of food advertising they fall victim to, day in and day out.

The Power to Make Healthier Food Choices

Let’s be honest, the food marketing that is targeted towards children in the United States is deplorable. We need to protect our children with what Nelson Mandela believed to be the most powerful weapon that we can use to change the world… education.

Kids are human sponges; they have the ability to absorb so much information at a young age. I can’t think of a better life tool than gifting them with the power to make healthier choices. Don’t get me wrong, karate and self-defense classes are also a great way to empower our children, but the number one killer in America isn’t the boogeyman… it’s cardiovascular disease.

Saving Lives through Awareness and Education

Childhood obesity is now a national epidemic. 1 in 3 children in the United States is overweight or obese. Increasing children’s awareness of healthy food, and teaching them to read labels and make empowering choices, could literally save their lives.

As most of us grownups already know, what we eat early in life sticks with us well into adulthood. When we give kids the freedom to playfully explore different kinds of foods and ask questions, we ignite an enjoyable food conversation! 

From the garden to the grocery store to the kitchen; involving children in as many food-related activities as possible, is a great way for them to connect to the source of their food and build a relationship with food that will pave the way for mindful eating. Teaching kids to be mindful about what they are eating will ensure that they make smart choices that will nourish and heal their bodies, leading them towards a more vital, and fruitful future!
