And a wee sprinkle of fresh rosemary. In honour of our service folk this last weekend.
Loving our new hero ingredient pear! 🍐 Pear, haloumi, honey and rosemary on sourdough. Yum!

I never knew how much I would adore meeting all these little darlings and learning lots of new names. Well new to me.
Always love to hear names people are choosing. These are just a few that I have loved recently. Thought it might inspire some of the pregnant families in our community.
Also would love to hear of any names you are thinking. Indulge me!

Something is coming.
I have been working the last 3 months on a little project.
And it is about to come out into the “real” world very soon.
Looking forward to sharing it with you.

Term 2 is upon us….
A wee update of what we do, what is on offer and how we can connect.
During term 2 and 3 we have more flexibility for external programs in the afternoons due to cooler weather.
Please reach out with any questions. Via DM or email mandy@littlepeoplenutrition.com.au
Cheers to Autumn 🍂 as we look forward to creating some magic with your children in the garden this term.
Kindest Mandy and the gang 💛☀️🫛🥦🍋🍊

Monkey see. Monkey do.
Repetition and exposure with the aim to bring our children into their hearts and hearts, so that they can experience the practical AND magical application of food and nature. .

Well this is exciting.

After two years of playing in the garden and many chats about children’s development, we are thrilled to welcome Paris into the garden this term.

Paris is an OT and has worked in many settings throughout her career. Many of Paris and my discussions have centred around young families feeling stretched and unsure. The desire and need to an ear of a trusted health professional to steer them in the right direction or alleviate their concern. Throw in waitlists and costs. It’s all consuming.

Drum roll. Stage left, enter Paris from .ot

Community health in real time.

Paris will be in the garden on the above dates and if you have any questions regarding your child from an occupational therapy lens or other, Paris will be able to give her professional thoughts.

This is at no additional cost to your normal playgroup spot. Incredible!

Thank you Paris. 🙌💛

Another kids cooking recipe, perfect to make with little hands this Easter.
We love to use our “per child” recipe to reduce waste, support families or classes with various dietary requirements, and also for the reduced overwhelm for the child (and parent/educator). And, so the child is the chief chef and creator or their own dish.
Comment EGG below and I’ll send you the link to the recipe cards and full video.
Love Mandy 🪺 🐰 🌸💛
