Description
A fun, experimental and education game about food...without actually mentioning food? Sounds interesting right? We had to add it to our Games & Puzzles Collection!
Curious Gastronaut™ is a set of food exploration cards designed to make food fun. By bringing the endless benefits of play to the table (literally), it enables children to explore new food and learn about the edible world in a fun and pressure-free way and become curious, healthy and adventurous foodies.
Take your senses on a journey and discover new textures, flavours, aromas and combinations that are out of this world and revisit familiar ones with a new perspective—It will forever change the way you and your little humans perceive food.
Why is Curious Gastronaut™ important, especially for little people? The benefits are endless.
• Remove the fear of new food
• Expand and diversify your family’s diet
• Teach children about food with real food, through real experiences
• Allow children to learn at their own pace, on their own terms
• Develop new tastes
• Promote healthy eating behaviours
• Develop a food vocabulary beyond “yuck” and “yum”
• Create a playful, pressure-free and stress-free environment
• Raise your children to be curious, confident, healthy, creative and adventurous
• Spark your child’s imagination
• Find meal inspiration
• Invent new recipes
• Reinvent family time, and more..
The cards are beautifully illustrated and contain humorous and whimsical prompts that spark joy and creativity. Play with or without real food and play for as little as five minutes or as long as you like. Warning: May involve tasting strange things!
Here are some unique features of Curious Gastronaut™:
• It makes NO mention of food
• It inspires players to be creative inventors rather than recipe followers
• It is completely child-led
