Free trial of our Food Explorer Cards available to download on our website now!!! 💛

I taught myself how to design, structure and manufacture a card game so that I could get feeding therapy strategies to the people who need them in a way that is accessible and affordable 💖

I know families are struggling with their kids’ eating and NEED a holy grail like this - easy, evidence-based, FUN! 🤩

I want people to try before they buy so they understand how the game works and can see for themselves how it helps their little ones approach food differently! 💞

When I share that being playful with food is often ESSENTIAL to rewire the relationship picky eaters have with food, I often have parents tell me “I don’t know how” so here’s a few extra tips:

🌱 follow YOUR interests. If you have a science brain get playful with food by experimenting, investigating, researching (modify it to meet ur kiddo where they’re at), if you have a sports brain make games using food and commentate it like you do when you watch real sport! Find your own version of fun and use that

🌱 curiosity is key, look at a food, describe it, talk about it and see if there’s anything you don’t know about it that you might like to know. E.g for processed foods can you find a video of how they’re made to watch together! For fruits and veggie do you know how they’re grown and harvested?

🌱 this doesn’t have to happen at mealtimes, if mealtimes are too hectic pick 1 time a week where you will be playful and curious with food with your little eater

🌱 if brain power is a barrier, we made the Food Explorer Cards to help! All the fun that picky eaters need, based on evidence that works, and no brain power required from tired adults 💛

Good luck ###

Here’s a step by step of what u need to do to shift ur kiddo from someone who grazes and refuses meals into someone who eats well at mealtimes! 🥰

Autonomy and being responsive to ur little eater during mealtimes is so important! But this has to be built on a foundation of predictable routine set by the adult! ❣️

We don’t let kids set their own bedtimes because we know they wouldn’t get the sleep they need to thrive, so we need to also be firm on mealtime schedules to help them eat their best at scheduled meal opportunities to get the nourishment they need! 😋

Good luck team!

Keep on keepin’ on ###

I made a card game and I haven’t been great at describing and or promoting it on here because I can never keep my rambling short enough to fit in one video… so here we are lmao 🥲

I made the Food Explorer Cards specifically for exhausted parents who need a hand with feeding their little one AND don’t have the time or brain space for other options that are available!

If that’s u, u can access the cards on my website 🫶🫶 physical versions available for nz & aus, digital version available for everyone else 💛

Happy to answer any and all questions in a less stressful manner xo

Here’s a little bit about me and the journey I’ve been on with Food Ease 💛

The skills, knowledge, and experience I have now to confidently and competently help families with their picky eaters is the result of younger me being bold enough to take big, brave, imperfect action! 🥹

I can’t wait to see where my skills are at in another 5yrs!!!!

Playing with food is SO HELPFUL for picky eaters!!

⭐️ many kids who are fearful or highly aversive of new foods (running away, crying, screaming) have threat detection systems in their brains that are wired too sensitively, so new food sends the alarm bells ringing ‼️they need a pressure-free, fun introduction to new foods before they’re ready to try eating it

⭐️ kids don’t have fully formed frontal lobes 🧠 logic and reason aren’t the best way to teach them that new foods are safe or that they might like it! Play is the way through!

⭐️ when parents get a refusal they often don’t know what to do outside of negotiating, bribing, trying to convince their little one. Knowing how to play with food gives you a blueprint for how to move forwards 💛

If thinking about playful interactions with foods is too much of a brain drain for you - you might like of Food Explorer cards! Specifically designed to be easy to use, fun for kids, and to help ur picky eater make progress with minimal brain power from tired parents 🫶🫶

Good luck team!

I always see these ideas pop up when I’m searching about picky eating and some are simple (like this guy) but others are VERY COMPLEX!

As we know, a bit of a positive PR spin can work wonders for kids finding food a little tricky! 💛 But I always want to make sure that if I’m recommending anything to parents it is EASYYYY. Y’all are already exhausted and overwhelmed, and need easy, functional tips! So, I’m peer reviewing hahahaha

I wanted to try some out for myself and rate them base on:
⭐️ Easiness
⭐️ Cuteness
⭐️ Would I recommend

Hope u enjoy! Very open to recommendations of what I should try next hehe
