Say goodbye to mess with "Catchy" the food and mess Catcher! 🌟https://catchyandcrew.com.au/

One of my first goals working with new families is to foster independence and encourage food exploration during mealtimes. We know that making a mess and throwing food is a natural part of learning for toddlers and children. Instead of getting frustrated, let's embrace this stage with a little help! The Catchy, food and mess catcher catches all the food before it hits the floor, so you can simply place it back on the high chair tray. No more sweeping, mopping, or vacuuming after meals! Isn't this a game-changer for parents?

Breakfast doesn't always have to be cereal or toast. I got to enjoy the morning with a little client of mine. She just loved the noodles. Not a fan of the egg but she could choose not to eat it. What a great start to the day
