WHO THE PROGRAM IS FOR

Does this sound familiar?

"I want to decrease the stress and decision-making around ‘what to pack’ every day in the lunch box."

"I want to help my child feel empowered and confident to make choices around food"

"My child struggles with processes with lots of steps so I'd love handy tools to help with that practice."

If these challenges sound familiar, you are not alone – it’s exactly why we’ve designed this program.

ABOUT THE VIDEO TRAINING

What the program covers

Our Lunch Box Program has been designed to provide tools, tips and inspiration to support the daily routine of packing a lunch box. Designed by a nutritionist and team of paediatric therapists, it aims to develop children’s confidence and independence in the lifelong skills of planning and packing their own lunches.

Supported by over 25 videos, children will be guided to explore foods for fruit break, recess, lunch and afternoon tea. They'll learn about food properties, gaining confidence to make informed food choices.

The Play Way’s Bento Set and Insulated Container Set, along with fun sandwich cutters bring play into their everyday eating encounters, making food fun and therefore more likely to be engaged with.

The toolbox also contains The Play Way’s Lunch Box Recipe Booklet, with a range of no-prep, low-prep and more-prep ideas. It's been designed to provide children with inspiration and 'food for thought' as they experiment with their lunch.

There are a range of tools to support the planning, organisation and execution of their daily lunch box routine. And there is a Lunch Box Foods magnet, where children can record their ‘safe foods’ and ‘learning foods.’

To bring a sense of fun, the toolbox also includes the Orchard Toys Lunch Box Game as a tool for encouraging communication around various lunch box options. There is also a series of bright and colourful lunch box notes to use as a joyful addition to the lunch box.
