Fun food gifts to build confident eaters

A long lasting birthday gift!

My daughter absolutely loves receiving her new book each month! The stories are the perfect length with beautiful illustrations. I cannot count how many times we have read them. The recipes in the back are a fantastic addition and had us foraging in the hedgerows this summer. They make a long lasting birthday gift too!

Always nice to give something different too

Lovely books! We got through two sets of these, such was their popularity with the girls, and also bought as gifts for friends (always nice to give something different too)… Great characters, stories and values, as well as of course tasty recipes and healthy eating tips too! Colourful, fun, educational and a really nice collection together. Recommended!

The one I always read when it was my turn to choose.

My favourite of the 12, maybe because January is my birthday or parsnips are my favourite veg, but this is the one I always read with the kids when it was my turn to choose. Beautifully illustrated and written, these books are fun and have been a firm favourite.

They’ve been read so many times.

These books are a masterpiece. I struggle to find kids books that cover so many bases – obviously there is the tremendous foody advice and info, but also the writing is highly age-appropriate and rewarding for younger readers. They’ve been read so many times and will be many more in the future. Absolutely top drawer and highly recommended

A lovely underlying moral

A fantastic book much enjoyed by my 3 kids. They all felt sorry for pumpkin and were happy when he found his special talent. Well written story with a lovely underlying moral & appealing illustrations for little ones. Loved it.

Such a lovely thing to do together.

Maisy LOVES post, LOVES stickers, LOVES food and LOVES planting. This was such a lovely thing to do together.

Well-thumbed after 3 kids reading them cover to cover

I first bought a set of the Foodies books when they first were published and my eldest child loved them so much that I started buying them as birthday presents for his friends. Our set is now well -thumbed after three children reading them cover to cover, learning about the outdoors and following the recipes which are pitched at just the right level for young children.

Just the ticket!

If you want to encourage your children to understand about seasonal food and healthy eating these books are the just the ticket! Just the right length of story and great illustrations. Perfectly pitched recipes and activities.

I can head outside with my grandchildren.

This is such a helpful guide. Even a spur of the minute visit means I can get an idea from the what to do this month guide and head outside with my grandchildren. All the ideas work for them at 2 and 3 years but also for my 7 year old niece.

They eat a few vegetables now instead of none.

I won’t say they are now eating their vegetables every day but they eat a few now instead of none, and that is good enough for me!!

Such a great gift idea for my son's birthday!

We made our daffodils yesterday outside in the sunshine. And planted our tomato seeds. Looking forward to making rhubarb and oatmeal bars later this week. This was such a great gift idea for my son's birthday!

She's so chuffed with herself

She’s excited to see asparagus on her stickers because she tried that last night. It’s giving her a real sense of pride...she’s so chuffed with herself and going back through her other boxes to make sure she’s ticked everything off that she’s eaten.

It exceeded my expectations.

I think it’s safe to say the kids were happy with a special delivery through the post today, the March box from The Foodies! The kids couldn’t wait to see what was inside and it didn’t disappoint. This subscription boxes come filled with things to keep the kids entertained. I can honestly say that it exceeded my expectations.

A fantastic idea.

Thank you so much for the Foodies books, they are a fantastic idea, my children have loved looking at them. My youngest Matilda has taken them into school where they were very popular and the teachers thought them a great idea.

He is very proud of the food that he has grown!

My son loves it when his Little Foodies Club pack arrives! The books now have their own special bag and he keeps getting them out to read. We’ve tried some of the recipes too. Pumpkin soup was a hit! He can get on with the colouring and puzzle sheet on his own and likes to do the garden jobs with his dad. He is very proud of the food that he has grown! I can’t recommend these books and the linked activities highly enough.

Read at least a dozen times already!

We loved our May box! The girls loved the Lettuce and the Butterfly story. It has been read at least a dozen times already! As soon as it stops raining we will plant the wild flower seeds.

Very busy in the garden this morning

Zia was very busy in the garden this morning. Repotting the chives and tomatoes - all of which, I'm pleased to say, are doing well. She's also filled a big pot with compost and sowed the butterfly flower seeds - I'm excited to see what happens with them. And she's made the rain gauge!

4 year old twins who were anti vegetables.

I have 4 year old twins who were anti vegetables like it was a religion; but their minds were changed when we got to know vegetables together as a family through these amazing little books.

Being able to connect the vegetable adventure to the time of year has been amazing for getting my girls to connect to the produce around them. They love strawberries but now they know that strawberries are for summer, and when they come to the supermarket they are so much more aware of what should be fresh.

Strong message of friendship and inclusion.

Lovely, friendly gardening video with a strong message of friendship and inclusion.

Hit a mark so close to perfect.

You have hit a mark so close to perfect - no pretentious names - no nonsense - treating children like people. Wonderful.
